- Add oil to a 12-inch skillet. Heat to medium high. Add chicken strips. Cook about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Notes
Tips:
- Serve with toppings of your choice: 1 cup chopped tomatoes, sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeño
- Beef or pork can be used instead of beans or chicken.
- Use corn tortillas instead of whole wheat.
- Heat cold tortillas to make them easier to fold. Cover tortillas with a moist paper towel and heat for 30 seconds in the microwave.
- Use plastic gloves to handle hot peppers. If you don’t have gloves, wash your hands with soap and water before touching your face, cooking utensils, or another person.
