Healthy Chicken Tacos
Ingredients
  • 1 pound thinly sliced chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
  • 3 limes, juiced, divided
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder, divided
  • 2 teaspoons ground chipotle pepper, divided
  • 2 red bell peppers, cut into thin strips
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 jalapeno peppers - stemmed, seeded, and thinly sliced
  • 4 multi-grain tortillas, or more to taste
  • 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
Instructions
1
Combine the protein of your choice, specifically chicken in this instance, with the juice of one citrus fruit, a lime, and a blend of spices including cumin, garlic powder, and chipotle pepper in a bowl; permit the mixture to rest for 10 minutes.
2
Next, heat a large non-stick cooking vessel over high heat and sauté sliced red bell peppers, an onion, jalapeno peppers, the juice of one lime, a blend of spices including cumin, garlic powder, and chipotle pepper until the vegetables are tender but still crisp, approximately 5 minutes.
3
Transfer the chicken mixture to a separate non-stick cooking vessel over high heat; cook until the chicken is no longer pink in its center, a duration of 5 to 10 minutes.
4
Subsequently, place paper towels between layers of tortillas on a microwave-safe plate; heat the tortillas in the microwave until warmed, a time span of 10 to 20 seconds.
5
Finally, place the sautéed vegetables and cooked chicken onto tortillas; top with fresh cilantro leaves and a squeeze of lime juice.
