  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and bell pepper. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove vegetables to a plate.
  • Add chicken to the skillet, adding more oil if needed. Saute until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes. Add water and taco seasoning; stir until seasoning dissolves. Simmer until sauce begins to thicken and stick to chicken, and chicken is fully cooked, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Serve chicken and vegetables on tortillas.
