2 lbs boneless chicken or meat
1 large bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
2 cloves garlic, diced
2 tbsp sugar
4 limes
1 tbsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp chili flakes

Suggested toppings:

Guacamole or avocado slices
Chopped tomatoes

Zest one of the limes and then juice all four. Whisk the lime juice and zest with the oil, garlic, sugar, spices and cilantro. Chop the meat into bit size strips and marinate for at least 6 hours or as long as over night.

Stir fry the meat and all of the marinade in a large skillet over high heat until the meat is cooked though and the marinade is reduced, about 20 minutes. Serve warm with wraps and desired toppings.
