Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed. Add the chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for best flavor.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken marinates, wash and slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken breast and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and browned. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred.

  3. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Return the sliced chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Toss to combine and heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes. Serve immediately with warm tortillas, sour cream, shredded cheese, and cilantro.
