In a small bowl combine all the spices, including salt and pepper.

In a large bowl combine: Onion, bell peppers, chicken tenders, oilve oil, and spice mixture.  Toss to combine.

Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and spread chicken mixture out on pan.

Cook for about 25 minuets on 425. Turn on broil and cook for an additional 1-2 minuets to let the veggies pick up some color, be careful not to burn.

While oven is on broil, warm tortillas in microwave per package directions.
