Ingredients
- 3 bell peppers seeded and thinly sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion thinly sliced
- 1 ¼ lb boneless chicken breasts sliced into thin strips
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil divided
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- Juice from one lime about 2 Tablespoons
- 8 flour or corn tortillas
- Optional toppings: Salsa or pico de gallo sour cream or full fat greek yogurt, Guacamole or avocado and shredded lettuce.
Instructions
- Combine seasoning ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Heat 1 Tablespoon of oil over a cast iron pan on medium heat. Once hot add peppers and onion and saute for about 5-7 minutes, until veggies start to soften.
- Add garlic and half of the seasoning (about 1 ½ Tablespoons) to the veggies and stir to combine. Let veggies saute for 2-3 more minutes. If the pan becomes too dry or the seasoning starts to burn on the pan add a splash of water to the pan. Once veggies reach your desired texture, transfer to a bowl or plate and set aside.
- Add remaining oil to the cast iron, followed by the chicken strips, remaining seasoning and lime juice. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. Again, you can add a splash of water if the pan gets too dry.
- Return veggies to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 more minutes just to heat everything up.
- Serve chicken and veggies in warm tortillas with toppings of choice. I recommend sour cream (or Greek yogurt), guacamole, shredded lettuce and pico de gallo.
