Ingredients

• 2.5 pound chicken breast (boneless, skinless, sliced into strips)
• 2 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 red bell peppers (medium, sliced into strips)
• 1 red onion (large, sliced into strips)
• 1 can black beans (15 oz can, rinsed and drained)
• 12 piece corn tortillas
• 1 lime (medium, cut into wedges)

Instructions

1. In a bowl, toss chicken breast strips with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chili powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
2. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add seasoned chicken breast and sear undisturbed for 3 minutes, then stir and cook until browned and internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 6 to 7 minutes total. Transfer chicken to a plate.
3. In the same hot skillet, add red bell pepper and red onion. Sauté for 4 minutes until crisp-tender with slight charred edges.
4. In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm black beans with remaining 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt for 3 minutes until heated through.
5. Warm corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 30 seconds. Return chicken to the skillet with peppers and onions, toss together, and serve immediately with warm tortillas, seasoned black beans, and lime wedges.
