Directions

Preheat oven to 300°F.

Wrap tortillas in foil and bake until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, season chicken with salt.

Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large heavy skillet over high heat until very hot.

Add chicken and cook, stirring until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to skillet.

Add onion and cook, stirring, until they start to brown around the edges, 3 to 5 minutes.

Add bell pepper, garlic, jalapeño and cumin.

Cook, stirring, until peppers are bright green but still crisp, 2 to 3 minutes more.

Stir in salsa and reserved chicken.

Cook, stirring, until chicken is heated through, about 2 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in cilantro.

Spoon into warmed tortillas and garnish with scallions, tomatoes and sour cream.
