Zesty, easy, and quick way to make chicken tacos that are delicious and diet-friendly. Other options for toppings would be low-fat sour cream, 2% reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend, and salsa.

1 pound thinly sliced chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
3 limes, juiced, divided
2 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
2 teaspoons garlic powder, divided
2 teaspoons ground chipotle pepper, divided
2 red bell peppers, cut into thin strips
1 red onion, thinly sliced
2 jalapeno peppers - stemmed, seeded, and thinly sliced
4 multi-grain tortillas, or more to taste

Combine chicken, juice of 1 lime, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon chipotle pepper in a bowl; allow to marinate for 10 minutes.
Saute red bell peppers, onion, jalapeno peppers, juice of 1 lime, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon chipotle pepper in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until vegetables are tender yet crisp, about 5 minutes.
