1/4 c. lime juice (from about 3 limes)
2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 c. plus 1 Tbsp. neutral oil
2 tsp. ground cumin, divided
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 bell peppers, seeds and ribs removed, thinly sliced
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
Corn tortillas, warmed, and lime wedges for serving
Directions
In a large bowl, whisk lime juice, chili powder, red pepper flakes, ¼ cup oil, and 1 tsp. cumin. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then add to bowl and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Add chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 160°, about 8 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board. Let rest 10 minutes, then slice into strips.
Meanwhile, in same skillet over medium heat, combine peppers, onion, and remaining 1 tsp. cumin; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 7 minutes. Return sliced chicken to skillet and toss until combined. Serve with tortillas and top with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
