Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (1 lb)
2 medium bell peppers, cut into quarters
2 large onions, cut into 1/2-inch slices
8 flour tortillas (8 to 10 inch), heated as directed on package

Steps:

  • In shallow glass or plastic dish or resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix cilantro, oregano, lime juice, oil, chili powder and garlic. Add chicken, turning to coat with marinade. Cover dish or seal bag; refrigerate 30 minutes to marinate.
  • Heat gas or charcoal grill. Remove chicken from marinade; reserve marinade. Place chicken on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 15 to 20 minutes, brushing with reserved marinade and turning occasionally, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F). Grill bell peppers and onions 10 to 15 minutes, turning frequently, until crisp-tender. Discard any remaining marinade.
  • Cut chicken and bell peppers into strips; divide chicken, peppers and onions evenly among tortillas. Fold tortillas over filling; serve immediately.
