Ingredients

4 servings
  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6oz each, or 1 ¼ lbs boneless chicken thighs)
  • 2 bell peppers (halved and seeded, red, yellow or orange)
  • 1 g reen bell pepper (halved)
  • 1 onion (red or white, sliced*)
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • ¾ teaspoon cumin
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small flour tortillas (or corn tortillas, 6-inch)
  • toppings as desired

Steps

  1. Whisk all marinade ingredients in a small bowl or blend until smooth.

  2. Pour ½ of the marinade over the chicken. Toss to coat and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to 4 hours. Add the remaining marinade to the vegetables and refrigerate.

  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Cook the chicken 6-8 minutes per side or until cooked through and the center reaches 165°F. Transfer to a plate to rest.

  4. While the chicken is resting, place the vegetables on the grill and cook until tender crisp.

  5. Slice the chicken and peppers into strips.

  6. Warm tortillas according to package directions or on the grill. Fill tortillas with chicken, grilled peppers, and desired toppings.
