Method
Marinate the Chicken
- In a large bowl or zip-top bag, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
 - Add the sliced chicken to the marinade and toss until fully coated. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
 
Cook (Choose Your Method)
- For Skillet: Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and cook for 3-5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken. Add peppers and onions to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp. Return chicken to the skillet and toss to combine.
 - For Sheet Pan: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange marinated chicken, peppers, and onions in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until chicken is cooked and vegetables are tender. Broil for 1-2 minutes for extra char if desired.
 - For Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Thread chicken and vegetables onto skewers or use a grill basket. Grill for 4-6 minutes per side, until chicken is cooked through and charred to your liking.
 
Serve
- Serve the sizzling chicken and veggies immediately with warm tortillas and your favorite toppings like guacamole, sour cream, and salsa.

Notes
Don't Crowd the Pan: For the best sear, cook the chicken and vegetables in a single layer. Work in batches if your skillet isn't large enough.
Warm Your Tortillas: This small step makes a huge difference! Warming them makes them soft and pliable.
Meal Prep: You can slice the chicken and veggies and mix the seasoning ahead of time to make dinner even faster.
