  • 1/4 cup minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 12 flour tortillas

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half
  • 1/2 tsp minced garlic

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Ingredients:

    • Dice the red onion, green pepper, and boneless chicken breast.

    • Cook the mixture in the saucepan over medium heat until the vegetables are soft and the chicken is fully cooked. Remove from heat.
