Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced into thin strips

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 medium red bell pepper, sliced

1 medium yellow bell pepper, sliced

1 medium green bell pepper, sliced

1 medium onion, sliced

8 small flour or corn tortillas

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, salsa

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced chicken with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated. Let it marinate for about 10-15 minutes while you prepare the veggies.

    Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken in a single layer. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized. If necessary, you can add a pinch of salt to help draw out moisture.

        Combine Chicken and Veggies: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss everything together and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. If you like, squeeze half a lime over the top for added zest.

          Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken and peppers are cooking, you can warm the tortillas. You can do this in a separate dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 20-30 seconds until warm.

            Serve: To serve, scoop a generous portion of the chicken and bell pepper mixture onto each tortilla. Garnish with fresh cilantro and additional lime wedges. Add your favorite toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, and salsa if desired.
