Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced
  • 2 bell peppers sliced (any color)
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 8 small tortillas
  • Optional toppings: avocado sour cream, salsa, shredded cheese

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, combine the chicken with olive oil, lime juice, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Cook until they are softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet and mix with the veggies. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve the chicken and veggies hot with warm tortillas and your favorite toppings.
