  2. Slice red bell pepper and red onion into thin strips. Chop cilantro and slice avocado just before serving.
  3. In a small bowl, combine sour cream with lime juice and a pinch of salt. Stir until well blended.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  5. Add sliced bell pepper and onion to the same skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Stir in the cooked chicken.
  6. Warm tortillas briefly in a dry skillet over low heat for about 10-15 seconds on each side.
  7. Spread lime crema over each warmed tortilla. Add chicken and vegetable mixture, followed by sliced avocado and chopped cilantro.
  8. Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling, tucking in the sides. Slice diagonally to serve.
