Ingredients

• Chicken breast, boneless - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lime juice - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

3. While the chicken is marinating, slice the red and green bell peppers and onion.
4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through and browned.

6. Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
7. Serve the chicken and vegetable mixture on the warm tortillas, garnished with fresh cilantro and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
