Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 Juice of one lime
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, and cilantro

Equipment

  • Large skillet or cast-iron pan
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Bowl for marinating
  • Tongs for flipping the chicken

Method
 

  1. Start by slicing the chicken into strips and cut the bell peppers and onions into thin slices.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken strips and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the bell peppers and onions until they start to soften and become slightly golden.
  4. Remove the veggies from the skillet and set aside. Add the chicken to the same skillet and cook until it’s no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Add the sautéed veggies back into the skillet with the chicken. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture and stir to combine. Serve with warm tortillas and your choice of toppings.
