3 large skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds, cut against the grain into thin strips)
salt and pepper, to season the chicken
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 green bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 red onion, cut into thin strips
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon oregano
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional for extra spiciness
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 lime, cut into wedges or slices
6 tortillas, flour or corn (8-inch)
Optional toppings: fresh cilantro, roughly chopped, sour cream, salsa, pico de gallo, guacamole, shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese blend

Preheat oven to 425°F.
Place the chicken (seasoned with salt and pepper) and all the chopped bell peppers, garlic, and onion slices on a large baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle this over the veggies and chicken on the pan.
Drizzle with olive oil. Then mix all of the ingredients around right on the pan, then spread the ingredients out into a single layer.
Place the lime wedges around the pan.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken is completely cooked.
Wrap the tortillas in foil and place them in the oven to warm up during the last 5 minutes of the sheet pan cooking. Or, if you prefer your tortillas heated in a pan that works too.

If you’re short on time for cooking dinner, chop up your chicken and veggies ahead of time. Store them in a Ziploc bag in the fridge and pull them out when you’re ready to make the rest of the recipe.
If you don't have a large baking sheet, you can also cook this recipe in a 9x13 glass baking dish.
Chicken is fully cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
