Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into thin strips
  • 2 medium bell peppers any color, sliced into strips
  • 1 medium yellow onion sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 0.5 tsp ground cumin
  • 0.5 tsp paprika
  • 0.25 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.25 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Method
 

Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, combine chicken strips, bell peppers, and onion.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle all spices over the mixture. Toss well to coat evenly.
  4. Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and vegetables are tender-crisp.
  6. Serve immediately in warm tortillas with your favorite toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the spices and oil for 30 minutes before baking. Leftovers store well in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave.
