instructions
    1

    Begin by cutting the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.

    2

    Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute.

    3

    Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing them for 3 minutes until they become translucent and fragrant.

    4

    Next, toss in the chicken pieces and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning over them. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.

    5

    In the meantime, chop the red bell pepper and zucchini into small slices. Once the chicken is done, add these vegetables into the skillet and sauté for an additional 5 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.

    6

    While the veggies cook, warm the tortillas either in a dry skillet for 1 minute on each side or in the microwave for 20 seconds to make them pliable.

    7

    Once everything is cooked, assemble the tacos by placing a generous portion of the chicken and vegetable mix onto each tortilla.

    8

    Garnish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice just before serving.
