Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, garlic, chili powder, paprika, cumin, honey, salt, and pepper.
Add sliced chicken and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Add bell peppers and onions to the same pan. Cook for another 5 minutes until slightly charred and tender.
Serve with warm whole-wheat tortillas or lettuce wraps. Garnish with cilantro and a squeeze of lime.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, skip Greek yogurt and add avocado slices for creaminess. To make it low-carb, replace tortillas with lettuce wraps or serve over cauliflower rice. Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 4 days and reheat in a skillet for best results.
