Instructions

1
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, black pepper, and lime juice until combined. Add the chicken strips and toss to coat evenly. Let the chicken marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2
Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, about 2 minutes. Add 1 tbsp olive oil, then add the onion and bell peppers with 1/4 tsp salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and charred at the edges, about 6–8 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
