Ingredients
Serves 4-6
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch strips
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 large sweet bell pepper, sliced into strips
1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
3/4 cup prepared salsa of your choice
Juice of 1 lime
Flour tortillas, for serving
Shredded lettuce and sliced avocado (optional) for topping
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken strips and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until browned on one side, about 3 minutes.
Flip the chicken over and add the onions and bell pepper strips to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, for another 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften slightly.
Add the corn and salsa to the pan. Stir well, cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat, stir in the lime juice and serve in flour tortillas, with avocado and shredded lettuce.
