  • 2 tsp Ground cumin
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Ground black pepper
  • 4 Tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 4 boneless, skinless Chicken breast halves (each cut into six slices per half)
  • ½ to 1 cup of Dei Fratelli Casera Salsa
  • ½ cup Chicken broth
  • 1 Avocado (peeled and sliced into thin strips)
  • 1 Lime (cut into 8 wedges)

  • 2 Red bell peppers, cored and cut into ¼-inch strips
  • 8 small Flour or corn tortillas (6-inch) or leafy greens
  • 2 tsp Kosher salt

 

Preparation:
In a large bowl, combine the salt, cumin, pepper, olive oil, garlic and the paprika. Place half the mixture in another medium-size bowl. In the large bowl, add the chicken strips and toss to coat. In the medium bowl, add the peppers and onions and toss to coat. Allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. (This can be done the night before, kept in the refrigerator and removed 30 minutes before cooking.) In a large skillet over medium high heat, add the vegetable oil.
