Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced into thin strips)
  • 2 bell peppers (sliced, mixed colors)
  • 1 medium onion (sliced)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 lime (juiced)
  • Warm tortillas (for serving)
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, shredded cheese, guacamole, salsa

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • Coat the chicken strips with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with the spice mix. Toss to evenly coat.
  • Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, sauté the onions and bell peppers for 4-5 minutes until tender yet slightly crisp.
  • Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet, squeeze lime juice over the mixture, and toss everything together.
  • Serve immediately with warm tortillas and your choice of toppings.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in lime juice and spices for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Use a mix of red, green, and yellow bell peppers for vibrant colors.
  • Customize with your favorite toppings for added taste and texture.
