# Directions:
01 - In a small bowl, blend chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a spice mix.
02 - Place sliced chicken in a large bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle the seasoning blend over the chicken. Toss thoroughly to coat all pieces evenly.
03 - Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add chicken and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked. Transfer cooked chicken to a plate and set aside.
04 - In the same skillet, add all sliced bell peppers and the red onion. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are softened and slightly charred. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
05 - Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the mixture and toss, cooking for 1 to 2 minutes until warmed through and well combined.
06 - While the chicken and vegetables heat, whisk together sour cream, lime zest, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl until smooth.
07 - Warm tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or wrap in foil and place in a moderate oven until heated through.
08 - Fill each warm tortilla with chicken and vegetables. Drizzle with lime crema and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and lime wedges as desired.
