Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:
  • 500 g boneless chicken breast or thighs sliced into thin strips
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Vegetables:
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper sliced
  • 1 onion thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
To Serve:
  • Warm flour or corn tortillas
  • Toppings like sour cream salsa, guacamole, or shredded cheese

Method
 

Marinate the chicken
  1. In a bowl, mix the olive oil, lime juice, and spices. Add the chicken strips, coat evenly, and let them marinate for at least 20 minutes (or up to an hour for deeper flavour).
Cook the chicken
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
Sauté the vegetables
  1. In the same pan, add olive oil and toss in the peppers and onions. Cook until softened and slightly charred, about 4–5 minutes.
Combine and serve
  1. Return the chicken to the skillet and mix everything together for a final minute of cooking. Serve the sizzling mixture with warm tortillas and your favourite toppings.
