How to make it
- Pat the chicken dry and season well with salt, pepper, and a little of the spice mix.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high and crisp the chicken until deeply colored.
- Add the aromatics with the red onion and jalapeno; cook until fragrant and just tender.
- Build the cilantro lime sauce in the pan and simmer until it clings to everything.
- Fold it back together, taste for salt, and finish with the fresh herbs.
- Serve hot over warm tortillas.
