01 Step

Recipe View 10 mins Marinate the Chicken (10 minutes): In a bowl, combine the chicken strips with the juice of 1 lime, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of chipotle pepper. Allow this mixture to marinate for at least 10 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.

Recipe View 5 mins Sauté the Vegetables (5 minutes): In a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the sliced red bell peppers, red onion, and jalapeño peppers. Add the juice of another lime, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of chipotle pepper. Cook until the vegetables are tender-crisp, approximately 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Recipe View 7 mins Cook the Chicken (5-10 minutes): Transfer the marinated chicken mixture to a separate non-stick skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center, which should take about 5 to 10 minutes. Ensure the chicken is evenly cooked by stirring regularly.

Recipe View Assemble the Tacos: Spoon the sautéed vegetables and cooked chicken onto the warmed tortillas. Garnish generously with fresh cilantro and a final squeeze of lime juice to brighten the flavors. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For an extra layer of flavor, consider grilling the bell peppers and onions before adding them to the tacos.
If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of chipotle pepper or remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeños.
To keep the tacos low-calorie, opt for corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas.
Feel free to experiment with other toppings such as avocado slices, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a sprinkle of cotija cheese.

    These tacos are amazing! The marinade really makes the chicken flavorful, and they're so easy to throw together after work.

    Great recipe! I used a cast iron skillet for the chicken and veggies, which gave them a wonderful smoky flavor.

    I love how customizable this recipe is. I added some grilled pineapple to the veggies for a sweet and spicy twist!
