Add one large clove of minced garlic to the bowl.

Chop and add one Serrano pepper to the bowl, or substitute with jalapeno if preferred.

Mix the salsa ingredients together and set aside to let the flavors marry.

Heat a grill pan over medium heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Cut one pound of boneless skinless chicken breast into 1-inch thick slices, wash, and trim the fat.

Add the chicken strips to the grill pan and season with chili powder, ground cumin, and black pepper.

Cook the chicken on one side for about 3 minutes before flipping it over.

Season the other side of the chicken with ground cumin and chili powder.

Add one chopped bell pepper and 1/4 of an onion to the pan with the chicken.

Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to the pan for freshness.

Cook the chicken and vegetables together for another 3 to 5 minutes, tossing to coat the veggies in chicken juices.

Once cooked, take some chicken and veggies and place them in a sprouted grain tortilla to serve.
