Ingredients
- 3 skinless boneless chicken breasts large (cut into strips)
- 3 bell peppers julienned (any colors will work).
- 1 large yellow onion peeled and cut into strips
- 2 Tablespoons canola oil
- 2 Tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 lime juiced
- 12 small flour tortillas
Instructions
- Add chicken to a large bowl and add the seasoning on top, stirring to mix.
- Pour canola oil into the cast iron skillet and begin to heat on medium heat.
- Add the seasoned chicken to begin to cook. Continue to cook the chicken until it turns brown and chicken is cooked through (5-7 minutes per side). I like to cut into a piece of chicken and make sure it is no longer pink on the inside.
- Remove the chicken from the pan to a separate plate and set aside.
- Add the pepper and onions to the skillet. Stir to blend all together.
- Continue to cook until the peppers are tender (2-4 minutes) but not limp, stirring occasionally so that they don’t burn.
- When the veggies are done, add the chicken back to the pan! Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top before serving and enjoy!
