1 tsp. minced onion
3/4 tsp. ground cumin
3/4 tsp. oregano leaves
1/2 tsp. cilantro leaves
1/2 tsp. coarse ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. each lime and orange juices
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 1/2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
1 medium green or red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
8 flour tortillas (8-inch)
I used McCormick spices, but any brand will do just fine.
1. Mix juices, oil, all of the spices and salt in a small bowl. Reserve 1/4 c. of the marinade. Place chicken in a large resealable plastic bad or glass dish. Add remaining marinade; turn to coat well. Refrigerate 30 minutes or longer for extra flavor.
2. Cook and stir chicken in large heated skillet on medium-high heat 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from skillet. Add bell pepper, onion, and reserved marinade; cook and stir 5 minutes or until tender. Return chicken to skillet. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through.
3. Spoon chicken mixture into warmed tortillas. Serve with assorted toppings, if desired.
I forgot the tortillas :) so I served this dish with rice instead. Either way you serve it, this garlic lime chicken is sure to please all members of your family.
Wow this looks amazing, Holly! Thanks for posting and I look forward to seeing more!
