Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. Spread the chicken strips, sliced peppers, and sliced onion on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and oregano. Sprinkle this spice mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
  4. Toss everything to coat, then spread it out in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing halfway through. The chicken should be cooked through and the vegetables should be tender.
  6. Remove from the oven. Drizzle with lime juice and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with tortillas or lettuce cups and your desired toppings.
