2020/09/19
Ingredients
- 2 Chicken Breasts cut into 1cm² strips
- 1 Medium Onion
- 2 Bell Peppers (I like a red and a green)
- Preferred Tortillas (We like flour)
- optionalSour Cream
- optionalCheese
Marinade
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1 tsp Mexican Oregano
- 1 TBS Chili Powder
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- Juice of 1 lime
Method
- Combine chicken all spices in a bowl
- add fresh lime juice and massage together, let marinate while prepping other ingredients
- Cut onion into strips (We call them “moons” no idea what the correct french word is) and fry in a dry pan over high heat (cast iron is ideal but not necessary here). Season with ~1/4tsp salt and do not stir so it will char. stir after first side it charred, continue until cooked to your preference
- Remove onions from pan and set aside in a clean bowl
- Repeat above step twice with one pepper at a time, it is important to not crowd the pan for charring to occur
- Reduce heat to medium and let pan cool slightly
- Fry chicken in batches (it takes us three batches) adding an appropriate quantity of oil each time, removing each batch to the vegetable bowl
Notes
- Recipe calls for cumin, Gab omitted it last time, try with it next time.
