Fast Chicken Fajitas

1 1/2 lbs chicken cutlets

2 tbsp vegetable oil

1 tsp chili powder

coarse sale and ground pepper

3 bell peppers, thinly sliced

1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced

4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

8 flour tortillas

fresh cilantro leaves, for serving

lime wedges, for serving

1.  Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat.  Arrange chicken on a rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminum foil; rub with 1 tbsp oil.  Sprinkle with chili powder, and season with salt and pepper.  Broil, without turning, until chicken is opaque throughout, 5 to 7 minutes.  Remove from oven; set aside.

2.  On another rimmed baking sheet lined with foil, toss peppers, onion, garlic, and remaining tablespoon oil;  season with salt and pepper.  Broil, tossing occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender and slightly charred, 6 to 8 minutes.

3.  Meanwhile, thinly slice chicken crosswise.  Stack and wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel;  microwave on high until warm, about 1 minute.  Transfer chicken and pepper mixture to a platter, and serve with tortillas, cilantro, sour cream, and lime wedges.
