Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 lb Chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 1 unit Red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 unit Green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 unit Onion, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon Chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 4 unit Large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken slices and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. Return the chicken to the skillet. Add chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  4. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle with cheese, then add the chicken and vegetable mixture. Top with more cheese and another tortilla.
  5. Cook until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  6. Cut into wedges and serve warm.
