Ingredients

  • 2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 bell peppers any color
  • ½ medium onion
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 8 8-inch flour tortillas
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • toppings such as lime wedges, cilantro, sour cream, salsa, avocados, hot sauce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Chop chicken, peppers, and onions into thin strips.
  2. Drizzle a large skillet over medium heat with oil. Let it come to temperature for about 30 seconds.
  3. Add chicken, peppers, and onions to the pan. Season with salt, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder and stir.
  4. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender.
  5. Remove from heat, drizzle with lime juice. Serve immediately with tortillas and your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Top it off: some of my favorite toppings include guacamole, sour cream, salsa, and shredded cheese. 
  • Chicken Swap: easily swap out the chicken for shrimp or thinly sliced steak! 
  • Make it spicy: add 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder OR 1-2 tablespoons chipotle adobo sauce (from a can of chipotles packed in adobo sauce) to the skillet.
