Ingredients

• 500 grams chicken breast (or beef skirt steak, sliced into strips)
• 120 milliliters ponzu sauce
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 units garlic cloves, minced
• 1 unit red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 unit green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 unit yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 8 units flour tortillas
• 1 unit lime, cut into wedges
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
• 120 milliliters sour cream (optional)
• 1 unit avocado, sliced (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine ponzu sauce, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and minced garlic to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the sliced chicken or beef into the marinade and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 1 hour for deeper flavor.

Step 3

While the meat is marinating, prep your vegetables by slicing the red and green bell peppers and the onion into thin strips.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken or beef (reserving the marinade) and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and browned. Remove the meat and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Toss in the sliced peppers and onion. Cook for 5–6 minutes until they are softened but still slightly crisp.

Step 6

Return the cooked meat to the skillet along with any reserved marinade. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce is slightly reduced and coats the meat and vegetables.

Step 7

Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave or on a dry skillet for 1–2 minutes.

Step 8

Serve the sizzling meat and vegetable mixture straight from the skillet onto warm tortillas. Garnish with lime wedges, chopped cilantro, sour cream, and avocado slices if desired.
