Mexican Seasoning Mix

zucchini

lime juice (about 2 small limes)

cilantro (chopped)

Cotija cheese (crumbled (optional))

chili powder

red pepper flakes

cayenne pepper

oregano

smoked paprika

cumin

In a medium-size bowl, drizzle chicken with 1 teaspoon of the oil and season with 1 tablespoon of the Mexican Seasoning and salt.

Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add remaining teaspoon oil to the skillet.

Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cook 4 minutes, constantly stirring, until the chicken has browned and is cooked through. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.

Add bell pepper, corn, and garlic to the empty skillet. Sprinkle with the Mexican seasoning. Continue cooking over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the peppers soften slightly, about 5 to 8 minutes.

Add the zucchini, season with remaining salt and cook, stirring often until the zucchini softens slightly, about 4 minutes.

Return the chicken back to the skillet, add the lime juice and scrape all the browned bits off the bottom of the skillet, stirring and mixing the juices over the chicken and vegetables.

Remove from the heat. Sprinkle cilantro and Cotija if desired.
