Chef's tip
Use the same weight and cut the chicken to match the recipe. Cook it to 165°F (74°C). For a long braise, slow-cooker recipe, or pressure-cooker recipe, shorten the cooking time because chicken thighs tenderize faster than steak.
3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
2 tbsp fresh orange juice
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper

For the peppers and onions

1 tbsp olive oil
1 large yellow onion, halved and sliced ¼-inch thick
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into ¼-inch strips
1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced into ¼-inch strips
½ tsp kosher salt

For serving

8 flour tortillas (6-inch)
