Ingredients

Scale

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
2 medium bell peppers, sliced
1 medium onion, sliced
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup sour cream (optional)
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Season chicken breasts with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 6 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from skillet and let rest.
In the same skillet, sauté sliced onion and bell peppers for about 5 minutes until tender yet crunchy.
Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces and return it to the skillet with the veggies. Stir to combine.
Lay tortillas flat on a clean surface. Place a generous scoop of the chicken-veggie mixture in the center along with shredded cheese and sour cream if desired.
Roll each burrito tightly from the bottom up, folding in the sides to secure the filling.
Toast burritos seam-side down in the skillet for about 2 minutes on each side until crispy.
