Instructions

Combine the marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Sprinkle strips of chicken with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the marinade and stir to coat. Set aside for 10 minutes. While the chicken marinates, prepare the veggies.
Juice of 1 lime, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 rounded teaspoon cumin, 1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro, ½ tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 2-3 chicken breasts, salt and pepper
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add peppers and onions. Cook until softened, about 7-10 minutes.
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Transfer the peppers and onions to a serving dish. Add the contents of the small bowl to the warm skillet containing ½ tablespoon olive oil, if necessary. Cook until chicken is done and browned and liquid has evaporated. Transfer to serving dish.
Warm tortillas between wet paper towels in the microwave, and transfer toppings to serving dishes. Serve all components separately and fill tortillas as desired. If making burrito bowls, fill bowls with rice and top with chicken, sauteed veggies, and toppings.
