directions

Step 1

Cut chicken into ¼-inch strips. In a large bowl, combine lime juice and zest, sugar, dried spices, salt, pepper, olive oil and garlic. Add chicken to marinate and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of an hour. Marinating overnight yields best results.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large skillet on medium-high. Stir-fry the marinated chicken for 5-6 minutes. Then add the peppers and onions and fry for another 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

Step 3

Divide the chicken, peppers and onions equally among the eight tortillas. Garnish with chopped cilantro, sour cream and hot sauce (optional).
