1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1 lime, juiced
1 1/2 cup shredded chicken
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
10 large flour tortillas
2 cups shredded cheese
1 large egg, beaten
2 tbsp oil, for frying

Baking Instructions
1. In a large pan over medium heat, add the oil, onion, red and green bell pepper, salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Mix to combine.
2. Add the lime juice and cook the vegetables until soft, about 5 minutes.
3. Separate the vegetables in two medium bowls. To one bowl, add the shredded chicken and to another bowl, add the black beans. Stir each bowl until everything is incorporated.
4. Cut a tortilla in half with a pizza cutter or knife. Put a spoonful of one of the fillings in the center of the tortilla half and sprinkle with cheese.
5. Fold each corner over the middle, forming a triangle. Flip the tortilla triangle over so the seam is down. Brush the edge of the tortilla with egg wash and press with a fork to seal. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
6. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a heavy baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in heavy skillet over medium heat. Brown taco triangles on both sides in the hot oil until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
8. Bake in the preheated oven until puffed up, golden brown, and the outside is crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve with cilantro, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
