Method
Toss the chicken strips with the chilli powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic and a pinch of salt.
Heat half the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over high heat and sear the chicken for 6 minutes, turning occasionally, until a meat thermometer reads 74°C. Transfer to a plate.
Add the remaining oil to the pan and cook the peppers and onion for 6 minutes over high heat until charred at the edges but still crisp.
Return the chicken to the pan and toss together for 1 minute to combine.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry pan for 20 seconds on each side.
Serve the chicken and pepper mixture with the warm tortillas, lime wedges and chopped coriander.
