Ingredients

- 1 1 1 medium onion
- 1 1 1 lime
- 3 3 3 bell peppers , red, yellow, green or orange
- 3 3 3 tablespoons olive oil , divided
- 1 1 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 1/2 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Preparation
Step 1
Cut onion into slivers & slice peppers.
In a separate bowl, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, juice of 1/2 lime, chili powder, paprika, onion powder, pepper, cumin and salt. Cut chicken into strips and toss with the spice mixture.
Preheat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high. Add 1/2 of the chicken and cook until just cooked, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside. Repeat with remaining chicken.
Set chicken aside and add 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Drain onions well and cook 2 minutes. Add in sliced peppers and cook an additional 2 minutes or just until hot. Add chicken back to the pan and stir to combine.
Squeeze additional lime overtop and serve over tortillas.
NOTES:
Optional: If I am serving these to kids, I find soaking the onions in cold water for a bit takes a bit of the “bite” out of them.
