Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast (or beef skirt steak, sliced into strips)
- 120 milliliters ponzu sauce
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 unit red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 unit green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 unit yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 8 units flour tortillas
- 1 unit lime, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 120 milliliters sour cream (optional)
- 1 unit avocado, sliced (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine ponzu sauce, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and minced garlic to create the marinade.
Place the sliced chicken or beef into the marinade and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 1 hour for deeper flavor.
While the meat is marinating, prep your vegetables by slicing the red and green bell peppers and the onion into thin strips.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken or beef (reserving the marinade) and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and browned. Remove the meat and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Toss in the sliced peppers and onion. Cook for 5–6 minutes until they are softened but still slightly crisp.
Return the cooked meat to the skillet along with any reserved marinade. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce is slightly reduced and coats the meat and vegetables.
Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave or on a dry skillet for 1–2 minutes.
Serve the sizzling meat and vegetable mixture straight from the skillet onto warm tortillas. Garnish with lime wedges, chopped cilantro, sour cream, and avocado slices if desired.
