Ingredients
- 600g chicken breast or thighs, sliced
- 1½ tbsp Holy Jalapeño seasoning
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 red pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow pepper, sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- Juice of ½ lime
- 8 flour tortillas

Directions
Preparation: Slice and Season
Slice chicken into thin strips.
Toss with olive oil and Holy Jalapeño seasoning.
Stovetop Method - Sear
Heat a large frying pan over high heat.
Cook chicken for 5–6 minutes until browned.
Remove from pan.
Char Vegetables
Add peppers and onion.
Cook for 4–5 minutes until slightly charred but still crisp.
Return chicken to the pan.
Squeeze over lime juice and stir.
Oven Method
Preheat oven to 200°C.
Spread chicken, peppers and onion on a large tray.
Drizzle with olive oil and toss with seasoning.
Roast for 18–20 minutes until cooked through.
What to Look For at the Finish
The chicken should be lightly charred on the edges and fully cooked to 75°C. The peppers should be softened but still vibrant, not limp. The pan should look lightly caramelised, not watery.
Serving Suggestions
Serve sizzling in warm tortillas with sour cream and salsa. Add grated cheese if preferred. Leftovers work well in wraps or rice bowls.
