Ingredients

3 chicken breasts

1 medium onion

1 lime

3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green or orange)

3 tablespoons olive oil (divided)

1 teaspoon chili powder

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon cumin (optional)

salt to taste

Method

Cut onion into slivers & slice peppers.

In a separate bowl, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, juice of ½ lime, chili powder, paprika, onion powder, pepper, cumin and salt. Cut chicken into strips and toss with the spice mixture.

Preheat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high. Add ½ of the chicken and cook until just cooked, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside. Repeat with remaining chicken.

Set chicken aside and add 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Drain onions well (if soaking per note below) and cook 2 minutes. Add in sliced peppers and cook an additional 2 minutes or just until hot. Add chicken back to the pan and stir to combine.

Squeeze additional lime overtop and serve over tortillas.
