Instructions

Brown the chicken in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Add the chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute, until the spices are fragrant. Add the onion and bell pepper and stir to coat.
Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the liquid is almost complete absorbed and the vegetables soften. Squeeze over a few of the lime wedges and season to taste with salt and black pepper. Serve with the remaining lime wedges and desired toppings and garnishes.
