Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breast cut into strips
  • 1 red pepper finely sliced
  • 1 onion finely sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic crushed
  • juice of one lemon
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 chilies finely chopped (optional)

For Serving:

  • ½ head iceberg lettuce roughly torn
  • 1 large tomato chopped
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese grated
  • 1 cup Guacamole
  • 10 Flour Tortillas

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken with garlic, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, cumin, chilies (if using), salt and pepper. Stir to coat the chicken, then cover and refrigerate for several hours.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet add the other tablespoon of olive oil with the peppers and onions. Cook over high heat for a few minutes until they are slightly browned. Then reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook until they are quite soft. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In another skillet, turn heat to high and add the chicken. Stir frequently and cook the chicken over high heat for about 10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat along with the peppers and onions. I like to serve the chicken on top of the peppers and onions as shown above. Serve with the Avocado dip, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, sour cream and Flour Tortillas. Enjoy!
