Using gloved hands, toss the chicken thoroughly to ensure every piece is coated in the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Remove the cooked chicken and veggies from the grill and place them in a tray to rest.

Warm the tortillas on the grill for a few seconds per side.

11

Slice or chop the grilled chicken and place it on a warm tortilla.

Top with the grilled peppers and onions.
