- 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
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.
