Step 1

Start your side dish of choice; continue on while it’s cooking.

Step 2

Heat olive oil over medium/medium-high heat. Add peppers, onions, salt & pepper, and taco seasoning; cook about 5 minutes until tender and browned.

Step 3

Mix in a bowl with shredded chicken, adding more taco seasoning and 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 4

Sprinkle some cheddar cheese on the bottom part of the tortilla, layer the chicken filling on top, then sprinkle a little more cheese on top before folding over for large tortillas, or add another tortilla on top for small tortillas.

Step 5

Reuse the pan from before (should have minimal oil in it). Cook on medium/medium-high heat for about 3 minutes per side.

Step 6

Optional: Mix up the crema dipping sauce while they’re cooking.
