    Recipe



    Combine first 7 ingredients in a large self-sealing plastic bag; add chicken and seal, removing as much air as possible. Allow to marinate for several hours in refrigerator.

    Drain chicken, reserving marinade.

    Wrap tortillas in aluminum foil; bake at 350F (175C) for about 15 minutes.

    Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet. Add chicken; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add peppers and onion and saute vegetables for about 2 minutes. Add marinade and continue cooking until vegetables are crisp-tender.
    Remove from heat.

    To serve, spoon a portion of chicken mixture onto a warmed flour tortilla and top with desired condiments & garnishes.

    Makes 6 servings.
