Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. chicken breasts cubed or sliced
  • 2 tsp canola oil divided
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 lime juiced
  • salt
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 2 red bell peppers sliced
  • 1/2 of an avocado diced
  • 1/3 cup salsa - I like Frontera’s Chipotle Salsa
  • 1/4 cup reduced-fat shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
  • 4 whole wheat

Method
 

  1. Combine spices, lime juice, 1 tsp canola oil and a sprinkle of salt in a bowl. Whisk to combine.
  2. Add chicken and toss to coat. Let marinate for 2 hours or overnight.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 tsp canola oil and when hot, add peppers and onions. Cook for 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add chicken and cook until it’s no longer pink in the middle. Mine took about 10 minutes to cook through and my slices were a bit on the thick side.
  5. Heat tortillas and serve chicken, peppers and onions in the skillet. Let guests serve themselves and build their own!
