Ingredients

4 servings

For the chicken

1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced against the grain
Chef's tip
Choose an unbreaded plant-based cutlet and cook it according to its package - ignore the recipe's raw-chicken cooking times and temperatures - then use it where the cooked chicken goes.
2 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp ground coriander
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper

For the vegetables

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
4 green onions (green tops only), thinly sliced
2 tbsp fresh lime juice

For the pumpkin seed crunch

½ cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
¼ tsp salt

For serving

8–10 large butter lettuce leaves, washed and dried
¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves (optional)
1 lime, cut into wedges (optional)

Instructions

1
In a small dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pumpkin seeds, stirring frequently, until they begin to pop and turn golden, about 3–4 minutes. Watch closely, as they can brown quickly. Transfer to a small bowl, toss with 1/4 tsp salt, and set aside.
2
In a large bowl, combine the cumin, smoked paprika, ground coriander, cayenne, 1/2 tsp salt, and black pepper. Add the sliced chicken breast and toss until evenly coated.
