Preparation Time

• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 15–18 minutes
• Total Time: 25–30 minutes

Ingredients (Serves 3–4)

For the Chicken:

• 1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Juice of ½ lime

For the Veggies:

• 1 small red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 small yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 small red onion, sliced
• 1 small zucchini, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

For Serving:

• 8 small corn or flour tortillas
• Fresh cilantro, chopped
• Lime wedges
• Optional toppings: Greek yogurt or sour cream, salsa, avocado, shredded cheese

Instructions

1. Cook the Chicken:
   In a bowl, toss the sliced chicken with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and lime juice.
   Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove and set aside.
2. Sauté the Veggies:
   In the same pan, add another drizzle of olive oil. Add the bell peppers, onion, and zucchini. Cook for 3–4 minutes, just until tender-crisp. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
3. Warm the Tortillas:
   Heat tortillas on a dry skillet for about 20 seconds on each side, or until soft and pliable.
4. Assemble the Tacos:
   Layer each tortilla with a spoonful of chicken and sautéed veggies. Add your favorite toppings — like salsa, avocado, yogurt, or a squeeze of lime.
5. Serve:
   Serve immediately while warm. Garnish with fresh cilantro and extra lime wedges for that final burst of freshness.

Tips & Variations

• Add black beans or corn for extra flavor and texture.
• For a spicy version, drizzle with sriracha or jalapeño crema.
