Ingredients

1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tbsp avocado oil , or other high heat oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 lb chicken, sliced into strips
1 white onion, sliced into half rounds
1 bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
3 cloves garlic, diced
1 jalapeno, sliced
1/4 cup cilantro chopped
2 oz lime juice

Method

1
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch, chili powder, salt, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and cumin and mix well.
2
Set aside.
3
Slice chicken breasts into long, thin strips and season generously with salt and pepper.
4
Heat a cast iron skillet on medium until extremely hot (but not smoking).
5
Add oil to pan and swirl around until shimmery.
6
Add chicken to pan and let brown, stirring often. Chicken should cook quickly if heat is high enough, so stir often to prevent sticking or burning.
7
When chicken is browned (after about 2 minutes) - but not cooked through - add onions and peppers.
8
Let chicken, peppers, and onions cook until vegetables are browned and soft and chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
9
Sprinkle seasoning mix over chicken and vegetables and stir to coat, adding lime juice to help coat. Add up to 2 tbsp water if needed to spread seasoning more evenly.
10
Turn off heat and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve immediately.
