Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, toss chicken strips, bell peppers, and red onion with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the mixture in a single layer on a large sheet pan.
Roast for 20-23 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are caramelized.
While the chicken roasts, make the pico de gallo: In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, white onion, jalapeño, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
Warm corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
Serve the roasted chicken and vegetables in tortillas, topped with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime. Spoon pico de gallo on the side or over the top. Enjoy immediately!
