Instructions

  1. Lightly coat a large baking tray with non-stick spray. Slice the chicken and vegetables into strips. Spread the vegetables evenly on the tray and arrange the chicken strips on top.
  2. Set your oven to 425°F to preheat.
  3. Mix together the spices in a small bowl. Make sure they are well blended. Dust most of the spice mixture over the chicken, and sprinkle a little on the vegetables. Add the minced garlic on the chicken and drizzle with oil over everything on the tray. Mix all ingredients thoroughly and distribute them evenly across the tray.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Wrap the tortillas in foil and place them in the oven to heat during the final 5 minutes of cooking.
  5. Take everything out of the oven. Drizzle fresh lime juice over the cooked chicken and vegetables, and scatter chopped cilantro on top. Serve in the warmed tortillas with your choice of additional toppings.
