Step one

Place the chicken, oregano and lime juice in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and leave in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Step two

Meanwhile, heat some olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Sauté the peppers and onion for 2 minutes. Add both cans of Aylmer® Accents® diced, seasoned tomatoes and cook for 15 minutes. Set aside.
Step three

In another frying pan, heat some olive oil and sauté the chicken over medium heat for 6 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the tomato, pepper and onion mixture to the chicken and cook for 2 minutes. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Step four

Spread the tortillas on a work surface. Top each tortilla with chicken and vegetable mixture. Roll each tortilla tightly. Place the tortillas in a lightly oiled oven dish.
Step five

Cover the tortillas with Hunt’s® Tomato Sauce; sprinkle with grated cheese. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) oven and bake for 12 minutes. Serve hot.
