Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 large bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle in the oil.

- Add chicken to the skillet and cook for 6–8 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté onions and bell peppers for about 4 minutes until soft. Return the chicken and stir to combine.

Notes
- Use freshly cracked pepper for the boldest flavor.
