    Spicy Chicken Tacos
    Yields 4 servings

    1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts; cut into thin strips
    2 teaspoons canola oil
    1 large onion; sliced
    1 large green bell pepper; seeded and sliced
    3 large cloves garlic; minced
    1 jalapeno pepper; seeded and minced
    1 tablespoon ground cumin
    1/2 cup prepared hot salsa plus more for garnish
    1/4 cup fresh cilantro; chopped
    8 corn or flour tortillas; warmed
    Garnishes: sliced scallions, chopped fresh tomatoes, reduced-fat sour cream

    In a large heavy skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over high heat until very hot. Add chicken and cook, stirring until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

    Reduce heat to medium and add remaining 1 teaspoon oil to skillet. Add onions and cook until they start to brown around to edges, 3-5 minutes. Add bell peppers, garlic, jalapenos and cumin. Cook until peppers are bright green but still crisp, 2-3 minutes more. Stir in salsa and reserved chicken. Cook and stir until chicken is heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro. Adjust seasonings. Spoon into warmed tortillas and garnish with scallions, tomatoes and sour cream.
