• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice

• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 2

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and add them to the marinade. Mix well to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 5

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Step 6

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 20 seconds to make them pliable.

Step 7

Serve the chicken and vegetable mixture inside the warm tortillas. Add optional toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, or fresh cilantro as desired.
