4 teaspoons Mexican seasoning powder or chili powder
4 tablespoons lime juice
1 1/2 lbs chicken, cubed into 1/2 inch pieces
2 bell peppers, diced small
2 onions, diced small
tortillas for serving (optional)

Directions:
  • Mix Mexican seasoning and lime juice together in a bowl, then add the chicken and bell peppers, and cover with plastic wrap. Put in refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
  • Make 4 pouches out of aluminum foil and spoon mixture (including the liquid) into the center of each pouch, dividing ingredients equally.
  • Fold edges of pouches tightly and form envelopes, leaving a bit of room for hot air and expansion within the pouch.
  • Put on grill set at medium-high and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, turning the pouches several times to cook evenly.
  • Serve on tortillas with toppings such as sour cream or guacamole, if desired.  This meal may also be served over a salad.
