  • 2 large chicken breasts sliced into thin strips
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced
  • 1 small onion sliced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro optional
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • Sour cream salsa, shredded cheese (optional toppings)

Method
 

  1. Toss chicken strips with chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add chicken and cook 5–6 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  4. Remove chicken and set aside.
  5. Add sliced peppers and onion to the skillet and sauté 4–5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. Return chicken to skillet and squeeze lime juice over mixture.
  7. Toss well and cook 1–2 more minutes until heated through.
  8. Sprinkle cilantro on top and serve hot with warm tortillas and toppings.

Notes

  • Slice chicken thin for faster, even cooking.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan, or the chicken will steam instead of sear.
  • Add jalapeños for extra heat.
  • Store leftovers refrigerated up to 3 days and reheat in a skillet.
