  • In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 1/2 tsp. oil over medium-high heat until very hot; swirl to coat skillet. Spread half of chicken in a single layer, reserving marinade. Cook, undisturbed, for 2 minutes, then stir-fry for 1 minute. Transfer to a plate. Add another 1 1/2 tsp. oil; repeat with remaining chicken.

  • Add remaining 2 tsp. oil, peppers and onion to skillet. Stir-fry until vegetables are slightly charred and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add remaining 1 Tbsp. garlic; stir-fry for 30 seconds. Season with salt.

  • Pour reserved marinade into skillet; let boil for 30 seconds. Return chicken and any juices that have collected to skillet; toss until heated through. Serve with warm tortillas, if desired.
