Steps
- 01
Combine chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
- 02
Rub the spice mix over both sides of chicken breasts. Keep raw-chicken utensils separate from vegetables.
- 03
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, cook chicken about 7–8 minutes per side, and continue until the center reaches at least 74°C. Transfer to a plate to rest briefly.
- 04
Thinly slice the onion and peppers using a clean knife separate from the raw-chicken knife.
- 05
Add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the same skillet and sauté onion and peppers 4–5 minutes until slightly softened.
- 06
Slice the cooked chicken thinly against the grain and return it to the pan with vegetables, tossing until piping hot.
- 07
Squeeze in juice of half a lime and serve immediately, optionally with warmed tortillas and sour cream.
Before you cook
Use separate tools for raw chicken and vegetables, and verify chicken reaches 74°C internally with a thermometer. Wheat tortillas contain wheat and sour cream contains milk. Refrigerate within 2 hours, use leftovers within 3–4 days, and reheat to 74°C.
Allergens: milk if sour cream is used, wheat if wheat tortillas are used, other allergens depend on packaged seasonings and tortilla labels
