In a medium-sized bowl, combine 1/4 cup of oil, the juice of 1 lime, 4 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of paprika.

Mix the marinade until fully combined.

Pour the marinade over the chicken and toss until fully coated.

Cover the chicken with plastic wrap and let it marinate while preparing the peppers.

Cut 3 bell peppers into thin slices, discarding the seeds, and place them into a large bowl.

Chop 2 yellow onions into thin slices and add them to the same bowl as the peppers.

In a pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil and the onions and peppers.

Season with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and cook for about 10 minutes or until the onions are translucent and slightly caramelized.

Remove the peppers and onions from the heat and set aside.

Turn up the heat to medium-high and add the marinated chicken to the pan.

Cook the chicken for about 10 minutes or until cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Add the peppers and onions back into the pan and toss for about a minute.

Serve warm with your favorite tortillas.
