Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound thinly sliced chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
3 limes, juiced, divided
2 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
2 teaspoons garlic powder, divided
2 teaspoons ground chipotle pepper, divided

These tacos were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them more if I had added some more spices to the chicken.
