Directions

1. Set an oven rack 5–6 inches below the broiler and preheat the broiler on high.
2. On a rimmed baking sheet, arrange the tomatoes, jalapeños, onion, red bell pepper, and yellow pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with oregano, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper; toss to coat and push to one side of the sheet.
3. Slice the chicken breasts into thin cutlets, season with salt and pepper, and lay them flat on the open side of the baking sheet.
4. Broil until the chicken is cooked through to 165° and the vegetables are nicely charred, about 5 minutes per side, flipping everything halfway through. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes on a cutting board.
5. Wrap the tortillas in a paper towel and microwave until warm and pliable, about 30 seconds; keep covered to stay warm.
6. Shred the chicken. Transfer the roasted vegetables and any pan juices to a blender and blend until smooth. Toss the shredded chicken with the sauce and squeeze in the lime juice to taste.
7. Fill the warm tortillas with the sauced chicken and finish with salsa, sour cream, crumbled queso añejo, cilantro, and lime wedges as desired.
