Ingredients

4 servings
  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (approximately 1 pound)
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 lime
  • 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green or orange)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt (divided, more to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon cumin (optional)

Steps

  1. Cut onion into slivers & slice peppers.

  2. In a separate bowl, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, juice of ½ lime, chili powder, paprika, onion powder, pepper, cumin and ½ teaspoon salt. Cut chicken into strips and toss with the spice mixture.

  3. Preheat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high. Add ½ of the chicken and cook until just cooked, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside. Repeat with remaining chicken.

  4. Set chicken aside and add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Drain onions well (if soaking per note below) and cook 2 minutes. Add in sliced peppers and season with remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt. Toss and cook for an additional 2 minutes or just until hot. Add chicken back to the pan and stir to combine.

  5. Squeeze additional lime overtop and serve over tortillas.
