Add ½ medium onion and ½ cup chopped red and green bell pepper to the skillet and cook until soft for about 5 minutes.

Add 1 tbsp lemon juice and mix together, then set aside.

Take a 10-inch tortilla and layer half with the chicken and both cheeses, pressing down firmly.

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a clean pan over medium heat and place the tortilla in it, moving it around to coat the bottom with oil.

Cook for 1-2 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until crispy.

Cut into wedges and serve with sliced avocados, sour cream, and tomato salsa.
