Ingredients
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 12 ounces mild Mexican-style chicken sausage
– 1 large white onion
– 2 large sweet bell peppers
– ¼ cup water
– 1 lime
– 2 tablespoons cilantro
– Corn or flour tortillas
– shredded cheese
– sour cream
– pico de gallo
– salsa
– avocado
– guacamole
– jalapeños
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– ½ teaspoon chili powder
– ½ teaspoon powdered garlic
– ½ teaspoon oregano
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
1-Start by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for 3 minutes until they soften and smell amazing. This step builds a solid base of flavor for your dish.
2-Next, toss in the thinly sliced bell peppers and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. They should get tender but still have a nice crunch. Now, stir in the sliced chicken sausage, all the taco seasoning ingredients, and ¼ cup of water; sauté for an additional 3 minutes to blend those flavors.
3-Finally, squeeze the juice from 1 lime over the mixture and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro. Serve it up hot with warm tortillas or lettuce leaves, and add your favorite toppings like cheese or avocado. For a low-carb option, those lettuce wraps work wonders and keep things light.
