Slice the chicken breast or thighs into thin strips.

In a bowl, combine vegetable oil, minced garlic, kosher salt, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, cumin, paprika, sugar, and lime juice to create a marinade. Add the sliced chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add the sliced onion and bell pepper; sauté until softened.

Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook until the chicken is no longer pink.

Prepare a baking sheet with tortilla chips spread evenly on it.

Top the tortilla chips with the cooked chicken and vegetable mixture.

Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top.

Bake in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve warm with sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and minced cilantro.
