Ingredients

4 servings

  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1/4-inch wide strips
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/4 inch strips
  • ½ large red onion, sliced 1/4-inch thick
  • 4 (6 inch) corn tortillas
  • ¼ cup sour cream, divided
  • ½ cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend, divided
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce, divided
  • ½ cup diced tomato, divided

Instructions

  • Place chicken strips in a bowl and stir in lime juice, cumin, paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper; marinate chicken for 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and pour in olive oil. Cook and stir red bell pepper and onion in the hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes; move vegetables to the outer edge of the skillet.
  • Place chicken strips with marinade in the center of the skillet and cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 3 minutes; cook and stir chicken and vegetables together until liquid in skillet has evaporated, about 2 more minutes. Set chicken and vegetables aside.
  • Place corn tortillas on a microwave-safe plate with damp paper towels separating each tortilla. Cook in microwave until tortillas are hot and flexible, about 30 seconds.
  • Place corn tortillas onto 4 serving plates; spread each tortilla with 1 tablespoon sour cream.
  • Top each tortilla with 1/4 of the chicken and vegetable mixture; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend.
  • Sprinkle each tortilla with 1/4 cup lettuce and 2 tablespoons diced tomato.
  • Top with any other desired toppings; repeat with remaining tortillas and ingredients.
