Tips
This can be prepared the day before & allow the chicken to marinate in half of the seasoning overnight. It is not wise to coat the veggies the day before as this will draw moisture out of them & create a steamed dish. You could add the salt just before baking though.
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees on convection roast (regular oven may take longer. Mix all of the seasoning ingredients in a small bowl & set aside.
Slice the chicken into thin strips & place in a ziploc baggie. Sprinkle in half the seasonings. Shake to coat & place in the fridge while preparing the rest of the dish. See tips for another option.
Slice the onion & bell peppers into 1/4 to 1/2 inch slices & place them in a large ziploc baggie. Drizzle with oil & add the other half of the seasoning mix & coat the veggies well. Spread the veggies on a large (nonstick foil lined) rimmed sheet pan. Place in a preheated oven for 10 minutes & remove to toss veggies. Continue cooking for 5 minutes.
Add the chicken & any seasonings to a 2nd foil lined/rimmed pan. Move the veggies to the bottom rack & place the chicken on the top rack of the oven for 8 to 12 minutes until chicken is cooked. Remove & drizzle lime juice over chicken & veggies.
Steam the tortillas while the chicken is cooking. Add desired amount of meat/veggies to the center of the lettuce wrap or tortilla, top with cheese, sour cream, or cilantro.
Serving Size: 4 - Makes 4 servings consisting of 6 oz meat & 1/2 cup of cooked veggies.
