Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons neutral cooking oil divided, generic cooking oil
- 1-2 cups bell pepper I like to use a mix of red and orange bell peppers, thinly sliced
- 1 cup onion thinly sliced
- salt to taste, sea salt
- 1 pound chicken breast boneless, skinless
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning (homemade or store bought)
- 2 cups Monterey jack cheese (or a mix of Monterey Jack and Cheddar)
- 4 medium-sized flour tortillas
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add peppers and onions and sprinkle with salt. Sauté until vegetables are cooked through and soft. Remove from heat.
- Slice the chicken into very thin slices and sauté in the rest of the oil in the same skillet and season with taco seasoning.
- Once the chicken is cooked, add the vegetables back to the skillet with the chicken and cook another minute or two.
- Wipe pan clean and spray with cooking spray, place a tortilla on the bottom and cook over medium heat for 30 seconds just to heat the tortilla and then flip.
- Put 1/4 of the chicken/veggie mixture over half of the tortilla add 1/2 cup cheese.
- Fold the other half of the tortilla over and cook, flipping once, 2-3 minutes per side or until golden and crispy on both sides and cheese is melted.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Serve with sour cream, guacamole, and/or salsa.
