Instructions

In a large bowl, combine sliced chicken with lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and all spices. Toss to coat well.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add bell peppers and onions. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender-crisp and slightly charred.
Return the chicken to the skillet, stir everything together, and cook for 1–2 more minutes to heat through.

Serve hot in warm tortillas with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Make it low-carb: Serve over lettuce wraps or cauliflower rice.
Prep ahead: Marinate chicken and slice veggies in advance for an even quicker dinner.

Try it on a sheet pan: Roast everything in the oven at 425°F for 20 minutes.
