- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced

Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a large bowl, combine sliced chicken with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet.
- Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Combine chicken and vegetables: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir to combine and heat everything through for another 1-2 minutes.
- Serve: Warm the flour tortillas and serve the chicken and vegetable mixture with optional toppings.
Notes
For meal prep, store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm the filling separately from the tortillas.
