  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

non-stick skillet cutting board knife spatula

Chef's tip: Cut the chicken and vegetables into similar-sized strips so they cook evenly and quickly.

Chef's tip: If the skillet gets too dry when cooking the vegetables, add an extra splash of water to help them steam.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the chicken breast into thin strips, about 1 cm wide. Slice the bell pepper into thin strips and the onion into thin slices.

    ~5 min
  2. 2

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through (internal temperature 74°C/165°F), about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

    ~5 min
  3. 3

    While step 2 cooks

    While the chicken cooks, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a low flame for about 30 seconds per side, until pliable. Keep them covered.

    ~1 min
  4. 4

    Remove the chicken from the skillet. Add the bell pepper and onion to the same skillet with 2 tablespoons of water. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 3 minutes.

    ~3 min
  5. 5

    Return the chicken to the skillet with the vegetables and toss to combine. Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture. Serve immediately in the warm tortillas.
