2. Heat a large 12-inch (30cm) cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon oil.
3. Add onion and chili, chili powder, and salt and saute for 6-7 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from pan and set aside.
4. Place the marinated chicken in the hot pan and cook until no longer pink and cooked through, about 4 minutes.

6. Serve immediately with hot tortillas (I used homemade 6-inch (15 cm) flour tortillas), your favorite toppings, and enjoy.
