Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
  • 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green), sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Tortillas for serving

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine chicken strips with chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with lime juice and mix well. Let marinate for 15-30 minutes.
  • Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • Add the remaining olive oil to the same skillet. Sauté the bell peppers and onions until soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to combine with the peppers and onions. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Serve hot with tortillas and your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken with beef or shrimp for variation.
  • Make it spicy by adding sliced jalapeños or cayenne pepper.
  • For a low-carb option, serve over lettuce wraps or cauliflower rice.
