Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
  • 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green), sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Tortillas, for serving

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and mix well.
  • Add the sliced chicken to the marinade, tossing to coat. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add sliced bell peppers and onions. Sauté for 4-5 minutes or until vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to combine with the peppers and onions. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Serve immediately with warm tortillas and your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For added flavor, serve with toppings like guacamole, salsa, sour cream, shredded cheese, or fresh lime wedges.
  • You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier option.
  • Adjust spice levels according to your taste preference.
