Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the chicken and vegetables

   Slice the chicken into thin strips for quick cooking. Slice the bell peppers and onions into thin strips as well.

   
   

2. Cook the chicken

   Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until they start to brown, about 4-5 minutes.

   
   

3. Add peppers and onions

   Toss the sliced peppers and onions into the skillet with the chicken. Stir frequently to cook evenly. The vegetables should soften but still retain a bit of crunch, about 5 minutes.

   
   

4. Season generously

   Sprinkle the South of the Border seasoning over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Add a splash of water if needed to help the spices blend and create a little sauce.

   
   

5. Warm the tortillas

   While the chicken mixture finishes cooking, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.

   
   

6. Assemble the tacos

   Spoon the chicken, peppers, and onions onto each tortilla. Add fresh toppings like cilantro, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, and a squeeze of lime.
