Preheat #oven{} to 350 degrees. HINT: If you have microwave, you can skip the oven and warm the tortillas there instead! Halve, peel, and slice half the @red onion{2%unit} and finely dice the other half. Finely chop the @tomato{2%unit}, @cilantro{2%bunch}, and @jalapeño{2%unit}. Zest half the @lime{2%unit}, then cut it into wedges. Core, seed, and thinly slice the @red bell pepper{2%unit}. Cut kernels off the @corn{2%unit} cob. Finally, cut the @chicken breasts{4%unit} into 1/2-inch strips.

In a #medium bowl{}, combine the tomatoes, half the ciltrano, jalapeño to taste (carefuly, it's spicy!), and a drizzle of @olive oil{2%tbsp}. Season with @salt{} and @pepper{}.

Heat @olive oil{} in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add @corn{2%unit} and half the diced @red onion{} and season with @salt{} and @pepper{}. Cook, tossing, ~{5%minutes}, until corn is slightly blistered. Remove from the #pan{} and set aside.

In the same #large pan{}, heat another @olive oil{} over medium-high heat. Add the sliced @red onion{} and @red bell pepper{} and cook ~{5%minutes}, until soft and slightly charred. Season with @salt{} and @pepper{}. Set aside with @corn{}.

In the same #large pan{}, heat another @olive oil{} over medium-high heat. Season the @chicken breasts{} with @salt{} and @pepper{} and cook in batches, tossing, until browned ~{4%minutes}. Once cooked, add all the chicken back to the pan and stir in the @red bell pepper{}, @red onion{}, @cumin{1%tsp}, @chili powder{1%tsp}, and a squeeze of @lime{}. Cook ~{30%seconds}, until fragrant. Set aside.

Wrap @flour tortillas{8%unit} in foil and heat them in the #oven{} for ~{5%minutes}. Or, wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for ~{45%minutes} on high. While the tortillas warm, halve, peel, and pit @avocado{2%unit}. Using a #fork{}, mash it in a #bowl{} with the remaining @red onion{}, remaining @cilantro{}, a squeeze of @lime{}, lime zest, and more @jalapeño{} if you like it spicy! Season with @salt{} and @pepper{}.

And now the fun part! Assemble fajitas with the tortillas, chicken, peppers and onions, corn salsa, and guacamole. Ole!
