instructions
    1

    Start by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat; this should take about 1 minute.

    2

    While the oil is heating, chop the onion and bell pepper into small pieces.

    3

    Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the pan and sauté for about 5 minutes, until they become soft and fragrant.

    4

    Next, cut the chicken thighs into small strips and add them to the pan. Season with your preferred spices and cook for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and golden.

    5

    In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the grated cheese on top of the chicken mixture and cover the pan. Allow the cheese to melt for about 2 minutes.

    6

    Take your tortillas and warm them slightly in a separate pan to make them more pliable, this should take about 1 minute on each side.

    7

    Once the cheese is melted, remove the pan from heat and start assembling your wraps by adding a layer of lettuce, followed by the chicken and cheese mixture. If you like, add salsa on top.

    8

    Wrap the tortillas tightly and serve immediately.
