Method

Preparation

    In the same skillet, push the vegetables to the side and add the marinated chicken. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Slice the chicken into strips.

    Prepare the Tortillas and Sides

    Warm the white corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Prepare the Mexican rice and beans according to package instructions.
