Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F. Slice the bell peppers and onion into strips.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, kosher salt, garlic powder, dried oregano, paprika, sugar, and red pepper flakes. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken breasts, then let it rest for about 10 minutes.
  4. Place the seasoned chicken on the grill. Grill for 6-8 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the grill, cooking for 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
  6. Warm the flour tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.
  7. Slice the grilled chicken and layer it on the warm tortillas, followed by the grilled peppers and onions. Add toppings as desired.
