Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
  • 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green), sliced
  • 1 large red onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add chicken strips, bell peppers, and onions to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the seasoning mixture.
  4. Spread the chicken and vegetables in an even layer on a large sheet pan.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.

  7. Serve hot with tortillas and your choice of toppings.

Notes

  • You can prep the ingredients ahead of time and store them in the fridge until ready to bake.
