👶 Kid-Friendly🌶️ spicy Spice

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 flour tortillas
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine the sliced chicken, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat well. Let marinate for about 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.

  3. 3

    Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.

  4. 4

    Add the sliced bell peppers and onions to the skillet with the chicken. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

  5. 5

    Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until soft.

  6. 6

    To serve, divide the chicken and vegetable mixture among the tortillas. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve with lime wedges.
