Prepare a small bowl and add 2 teaspoons of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 2 teaspoons of ground cumin, and 2 teaspoons of paprika. Set aside.

Cut 3 bell peppers (1 yellow, 1 green, 1 red) into strips, removing the tops and seeds.

Cut 1 large yellow onion in half, remove the outer shell, and separate the layers into individual pieces.

Cut 8 chicken tenders into thirds to create strips.

In a large bowl, combine the sliced bell peppers, onion, and chicken strips.

Add 3 cloves of minced garlic to the bowl.

Pour in 3 tablespoons of olive oil and the prepared spices, mixing everything together until well coated.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (about 205 degrees Celsius).

Spread the mixture evenly on a lined sheet pan (12 by 17 inches).

Bake in the oven for 18 to 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are browned, checking that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Let the mixture sit for a few minutes after removing it from the oven.

Prepare flour tortillas, avocado, and sour cream for serving.

Using tongs, serve the chicken and vegetable mixture onto the tortillas, adding avocado and sour cream as desired.
