Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine yogurt, orange juice and orange peel; set aside. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; saute cumin and cayenne pepper for about 1 minute or until nice and fragrant (don’t let it burn). Add chicken strips, bell pepper, scallions and garlic; saute until chicken is cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Add yogurt mixture; toss to coat. Spoon chicken mixture evenly down the center of each warm tortilla, roll up and enjoy!
