Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil, divided in half
  • 1-1/2 cups yellow onion, peeled and sliced lengthwise into 1/4-inch strips
  • 2 cups bell peppers, seeded and sliced into 1/4-inch strips
  • 2 cups Roasted Chicken, sliced or pulled into 1/4-inch strips
  • 4 whole wheat or plain 10-inch tortillas, warmed
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional:
  • 1 Tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 Tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 Tablespoon jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely diced
  • Sour cream
  • Shredded cheese
  • Salsa

Preparation

Step 1

Heat 1 Tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is hot but not smoking. Add onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally until soft and lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Remove to a large bowl.

Step 2

Add peppers to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the peppers to the bowl with the onions.

Step 3

Toss the chicken strips in the seasoning (cumin and chili powder, if using) in a medium-size bowl. Add the remaining 1 Tablespoon of oil to the skillet and heat until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and optional jalapeno and cook, stirring frequently, until warmed through, about 4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the cooked peppers and onions back to the pan and stir to mix thoroughly. Remove to a platter and serve with warm tortillas. Set out toppings such as sour cream, shredded cheese and salsa so that everyone can fix his or her own plate to individual tastes.
