Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast Succulent and juicy
  • 2 bell peppers (1 red, 1 green) Adds color and sweet crunch
  • 1 onion Provides subtle sweetness
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For cooking

Instructions
 

Cooking

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the sliced chicken breast in a single layer and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  • Toss in the sliced bell peppers and onion, cooking until they become tender and fragrant, about another 3-5 minutes.
  • Season with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, stirring well.
  • Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  • Serve immediately with warm tortillas.

Notes
