Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs chicken breast, sliced into strips
- 3 bell peppers, sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Juice of 2 limes
- Warm flour tortillas
- Sour cream, cilantro, and salsa to serve
Instructions
- 1
Toss the chicken strips with the oil, spices, and half the lime juice and let them sit while the oven or skillet gets very hot.
- 2
Spread the chicken, peppers, and onions across a sheet pan in a thin layer so everything roasts rather than steams.
- 3
Roast at 450F for eighteen to twenty minutes, stirring once, until the edges of the peppers blacken in spots.
- 4
Squeeze the remaining lime juice over the hot pan and scrape up any browned bits clinging to the bottom.
- 5
Pile the filling into warm tortillas and pass the sour cream, cilantro, and salsa at the table.
