Preparation Steps

1

Cook the Chicken

In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breast and season with salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from skillet and let rest.

2

Sauté the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add the red onion, bell peppers, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

3

Slice the Chicken

After the chicken has rested, slice it into thin strips.

4

Mix and Combine

Add the sliced chicken back into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Pour in lime juice and chopped cilantro. Stir well to combine and heat through for another 2-3 minutes.

5

Serve

Warm the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave. Serve the chicken and vegetable mixture on the tortillas and enjoy!
