Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast boneless skinless chicken breast
- 2 bell pepper green, red, yellow, or orange
- 1 medium red onion
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons oregano dried
- 1 teaspoon cumin dried
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder dried
- ½ teaspoon paprika dried
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper dried
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 medium lime Juice from 1 lime about 2 tablespoons, juice only
- 8 flour tortilla or corn tortilla
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425. Lightly oil the pan with cooking oil.
- Slice chicken breast, bell pepper and onion into ¼ inch strips. Slice so the meat and vegetables are about the same size so everything cooks evenly. Some thicker chicken breasts may need to be sliced in half as well as into slices to get strips that are roughly ¼ inch thick. Add the chicken and vegetables to the sheet pan.
- In a small bowl mix together olive oil, oregano, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper and salt.
- Pour the mixture over the sliced chicken, peppers and onions. Gently toss the chicken, peppers and onions with the oil and spice mixture.
- Place the sheet pan in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked all the way through. You can check the chicken with a meat thermometer that it has reached 165 in the center. Serve with warm tortillas and enjoy!
