Preparation

Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
Core, then cut peppers into 1/4-inch slices.
Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces.
Halve tomatoes.
Zest, then juice half the lime. Cut remaining lime into wedges.
Roughly tear cilantro leaves.

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then onions and peppers. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until tender. Season with salt, pepper and half the Southwest Spice Blend.
Transfer to a plate.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, cilantro, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lime juice, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) lime zest and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine sour cream and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) lime zest. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.

Reheat the pan to medium-high.
Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Cook for 4-5 min, breaking up chicken into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.** Season with salt, pepper and remaining Southwest Spice Blend.

Just before serving, wrap tortillas in paper towels.
Microwave for 30 sec-1 min, until tortillas are warm and flexible. (TIP: You can skip this step if you don't want to warm the tortillas!)

Divide tortillas between plates. Top with veggies, chicken, cheese and marinated tomatoes.
Dollop lime crema over top.
Squeeze a lime wedge over top, if you like.
