Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large 18x13-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or heavy foil.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Place sliced chicken, bell peppers, and red onion onto the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle the spice rub evenly across the ingredients.
  4. Toss thoroughly with tongs until evenly coated, then spread into a single, uncrowded layer.
  5. Roast for 18 to 22 minutes, tossing halfway through, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and veggies are tender with blistered edges.
  6. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the sizzling pan and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve warm with tortillas and your favorite toppings.
