Ingredients
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
4 whole wheat tortillas (8-inch)
1 lime, cut into wedges
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the thinly sliced chicken breast to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the spice mixture.
Heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil to the same skillet.
Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 20 seconds.
Divide the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly among the tortillas.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
