Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced chicken and season with chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5–7 minutes until fully cooked.
Add bell peppers and onions to the skillet. Sauté for another 5–6 minutes until tender. Remove from heat.
Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or oil.
Place a tortilla on the skillet. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of cheese over half of the tortilla, then top with 1/4 of the chicken and veggie mixture.
Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Slice into wedges and serve warm with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole if desired.

Notes

You can use pre-cooked chicken to save time.
Customize with extra toppings like jalapeños, black beans, or corn.
Use whole wheat or low-carb tortillas for a healthier option.
Make ahead and reheat in a skillet or oven for best texture.
