Scale
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (1.5 lbs)
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies

  • 2 cups tortilla strips
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  2. In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté chopped onion until translucent, then add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
