Steps

  1. Toss the chicken with lime juice, spices, salt, and 1 tbsp oil and rest 15 minutes.

  2. Sear the chicken in a screaming-hot skillet with 1 tbsp oil until charred and cooked through, then set aside.

  3. Add the remaining oil, peppers, and onion and cook 6 minutes until blistered but still crisp.

  4. Return the chicken, toss, warm the tortillas, and serve with the toppings.

Crowding the pan steams the peppers — cook in two batches if needed.

Food safety Cook chicken to 74°C / 165°F.
