Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1–2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely minced
  • Juice and zest of 1 lime
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (for crema)
  • Salt to taste (for crema)
  • Warm flour or corn tortillas
  • Optional toppings: diced avocado, shredded cheese, fresh salsa, lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Slice the chicken into thin strips about 1/4 inch thick. Thinly slice the bell peppers and onion. Toss everything in a large bowl.
  2. Add olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until the chicken and veggies are evenly coated. Let it sit while you prepare the crema.
  3. In a small bowl, combine sour cream or Greek yogurt with minced chipotle peppers, lime juice, lime zest, garlic powder, and salt. Stir until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Tear off four large sheets of heavy-duty foil, about 12×12 inches each. Divide the chicken and veggie mixture evenly among the sheets, placing it in the center. Fold the foil over and seal the edges tightly, making a pouch.
  5. Place the foil packs on a hot grill or over hot coals. Cook for about 7-10 minutes per side, flipping carefully with tongs halfway through. Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and veggies are tender but still slightly crisp.
  6. Carefully open the foil packs to avoid steam. Spoon the contents onto warm tortillas. Drizzle generously with chipotle lime crema and garnish with fresh cilantro and optional toppings like avocado or salsa.

Notes

Use heavy-duty foil and fold edges tightly twice to prevent leaks. Thinly slice ingredients for even cooking. Adjust chipotle peppers in crema to heat preference. For indoor cooking, bake foil packs at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes. Let crema flavors deepen by making ahead and refrigerating. Store leftovers separately and reheat gently.
