Come preparare

1
Combine the lime juice, 30 ml of the olive oil, garlic, cumin, and smoked paprika in a bowl. Add the chicken and toss until evenly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes while preparing the vegetables.
2
Heat a large cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water evaporates immediately. Add the remaining olive oil, then sauté the peppers and onion for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly charred but still crisp-tender. Transfer to a plate.
3
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip away. Add it to the hot skillet in a single layer and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, turning once or twice, until browned and the thickest pieces reach 74°C/165°F.

4
Return the peppers and onion to the skillet and toss with the chicken for 1 to 2 minutes, until everything is hot and coated with the pan juices. Remove from the heat and rest for 2 minutes.
5
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 20 seconds per side, or wrap them in foil and heat briefly until pliable. Fill each tortilla with the chicken and vegetables, scatter with cilantro, and serve with lime wedges and desired toppings.

Perché questa ricetta funziona

A short lime marinade seasons the chicken deeply without making it mushy, while high-heat sautéing creates browned edges and keeps the peppers lightly crisp. Finishing with lime and cilantro balances the savory spices.

Come conservarla

Refrigerate cooled chicken and vegetables in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Store tortillas and fresh toppings separately.

Come riscaldarla

Reheat the chicken and vegetables in a hot skillet over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring until steaming hot; warm tortillas separately.
