Ingredients:

1 pound (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

8 small flour tortillas, warmed

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

1 lime, cut into wedges (for serving)

Optional Toppings:

Shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese

Sour cream

Salsa

Guacamole

Directions:

Season the Chicken: In a medium bowl, toss the sliced chicken with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Make sure the chicken is well coated with the spices.

Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken strips and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly charred. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Combine: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss everything together and cook for another 1-2 minutes until heated through.

Serve: Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave. Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture onto the tortillas. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve with optional toppings like cheese, sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
