  • 1.5 lbs chicken breast, sliced
  • 3 pieces bell peppers (1 red, 1 yellow, 1 green), sliced

  • 2 teaspoons chili powder

  • Remove the sheet pan from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Serve the chicken and vegetable mixture in the warm tortillas, topped with your choice of sour cream, salsa, avocado, lime wedges, and fresh cilantro.
