• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large, diced Yellow onion
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 diced Red bell pepper
• 1 diced Green bell pepper
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Tomato sauce
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 8 pieces Corn tortillas
• 0.5 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro
• 1 cut into wedges Lime

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and cook for 3 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes until the peppers are tender.

Step 6

Stir in the ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 1 minute to toast the spices.

Step 7

Add the tomato sauce and chicken broth to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, then return the cooked chicken to the skillet.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

While the chicken mixture simmers, heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast each corn tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until warm and slightly crispy.

Step 10

To serve, place a portion of the chicken mixture onto each toasted tortilla.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your dairy-free chicken tortilla!
