Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken breast, skinless and boneless
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix (link to the recipe in the notes)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ green bell pepper, cut into strips
- ½ red bell pepper, cut into strips
- ½ yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon lime juice, freshly squeezed
- A pinch of salt
To Serve:
- 8 – 10 small tortillas
- 1 large avocado, halved and sliced
- Sour cream
- Queso fresco
- Fresh lime wedges
Instructions
- Cut chicken into small strips. In a large shallow bowl combine chicken and taco seasoning. Let it sit for about 5 minutes while you cut the veggies.
- In a large skillet or pan, heat olive oil. Cook chicken for about 10 minutes or until cooked through and golden on all sides. Flip them a few times while cooking so they get a nice even char. Transfer chicken to a warm plate.
- Add the peppers and onions to the pan (drizzle with a little extra oil only if needed), and cook until the onion is soft and the peppers are slightly charred and cooked. Add the chicken back to the pan and stir to combine.
- Serve with warm tortillas, avocado, sour cream, queso fresco and lime wedges.
