Chicken Veggie Tacos

PREP: 30-45 min

SERVES: 15-20 tacos 

INGREDIENTS: 

package of HEB marinated cilantro lime chicken breasts (approx 2 lbs)
3 bell peppers (various colors)
1 large sweet onion
2/3 cup frozen corn
1 cup frozen chopped spinach
fajita seasoning
15-20 tortillas

Optional toppings:

shredded cheese
sour cream
avocados or guacamole

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. 

2. Cut each chicken breast in to 2-3 similarly-sized cutlets so that they'll cook more quickly and evenly. Space them apart on the baking sheet. Roast in the oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until cooked thoroughly (165 degrees internal temperature or no longer pink in the middle.)

3. Slice the bell peppers and begin to sauté them in olive oil on medium high in a large skillet. 

4. Slice the onion and add it to the skillet to sauté on medium high. Sprinkle 1-2 Tablespoons of fajita seasoning over the onions and peppers. 

5. Once the onions begin to turn translucent, but before they begin to brown, add the frozen spinach and corn. Sauté on medium for 5-8 minutes or until the spinach is completely soft and the rest of the veggies are beginning to brown. Turn off heat and set aside.

6. When chicken is done cooking, slice and set aside.

7. Cook (if raw) or warm the tortillas. Assemble tacos with chicken, veggies, and optional toppings.
