Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Add the chicken breast, ensuring it is well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare Vegetables

    While the chicken is marinating, slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Grill Chicken

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should be 165°F/75°C). Remove from grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

  2. 4

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a little olive oil if needed. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

  3. 5

    Combine and Serve

    In a serving platter, combine the grilled chicken strips with the sautéed vegetables. Serve with warm flour tortillas, sour cream, shredded cheese, and fresh cilantro on the side.
