Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
    Start by slicing the chicken breasts, bell peppers, and onion into thin strips. Set them aside in separate bowls.
  • Step 2: Season the Chicken
    In a mixing bowl, combine the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Add the chicken strips to the bowl and toss them with the seasoning mix until they are evenly coated.
  • Step 3: Cook the Chicken
    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
  • Step 4: Sauté the Vegetables
    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
  • Step 5: Combine Chicken and Vegetables
    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through and blend the flavors.
  • Step 6: Warm the Tortillas
    While the chicken and vegetables are cooking, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are warm and pliable.
  • Step 7: Serve
    Serve the chicken and vegetable mixture on warm tortillas. Add your favorite toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, or fresh cilantro. Enjoy your romantic meal!
