Cook's note

Cut the chicken into strips of about the same thickness as the peppers so they finish together. Check that your chili powder is a plain blend, as some bottled mixes include other seasonings. A hot broiler for the final 2 minutes gives a slightly charred edge.

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment.

  2. Mix the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder and salt in a small bowl.

  3. Toss the chicken and peppers on the sheet with the olive oil, the spice mix and the lime juice until evenly coated.

  4. Spread into a single layer so everything roasts rather than steams.

  5. Roast for , stirring once, until the chicken is cooked through and the peppers are tender with browned edges.

  6. Serve the chicken and peppers in warm tortillas with avocado, sour cream, cilantro and lime wedges.
