Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 Tbsp lime juice
- Ancho chile powder or Mexican chili powder, to taste
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
- 1 green or poblano pepper, seeded and cut into strips
- 1 medium onion, cut into strips
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 8 (6-inch) flour or corn tortillas
- 1/2 cup shredded Mexican cheese, for garnish
- Sour cream (optional)
- Guacamole (optional)
Instructions
- Put chicken and lime juice in a zip-close bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least an hour or overnight, then season with chile powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder and cumin.
- Season vegetables with salt and pepper; toss with olive oil.
- To grill the peppers and onion on an outdoor grill, use a cast-iron skillet and grill over medium heat with the barbecue lid closed, stirring occasionally until tender, about 15 minutes. To cook indoors, use a large stovetop skillet over medium heat for 16 to 18 minutes, covered, until the onion and peppers are soft.
- Heat an outdoor or indoor grill pan brushed with oil over medium heat; grill chicken until cooked through (to an internal temperature of 165 F), about 8 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board when done and cut into strips. Combine with the peppers and onion. Serve immediately with warmed tortillas, cheese and toppings, if desired. Makes 4 servings.
