Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • 3 – 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Your choice of pepper seasonings
  • 1 – 2 bell peppers, any color
  • ½ red onion
  • Minced garlic
  • Coarse salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • Tortillas
  • Toppings (shredded cheese, sour cream, lettuce, diced tomatoes, cilantro, and salsa, just to name a few!)
Instructions
  1. Place the top oven rack about 4 inches from the broiler. Turn the broiler to HIGH.
  2. Cut the chicken into thin slices, about ½” thick.
  3. Arrange the chicken on a large baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and sprayed with cooking spray.
  4. Spray the chicken with more cooking spray and sprinkle with a peppery blend of spices. I used a pre-mixed pepper blend; you could opt for straight chili powder or even a packet of taco seasoning. (See what I mean by flexible?)
  5. Place the chicken on the top rack and broil for about 7 – 10 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the chicken turns slightly brown.
  6. While the chicken is cooking, slice the peppers and onions and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Add minced garlic, if desired. Spray with cooking spray and salt and pepper to taste.
  7. When the chicken is done, remove from oven (or place on a lower rack to keep warm). Place the peppers and onions under the broiler and cook until the peppers and onions turn slightly black on the edges, about 10 minutes.
  8. Serve with warm tortillas and the toppings of your choice.
