# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Switch your oven to 200°C (400°F) so it gets nice and hot.
02 - Put down two big foil sheets on your counter, make sure it's clean and flat.
03 - Set chicken pieces on a board and brush both sides with olive oil.
04 - Dust each piece with pepper, salt, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and chili powder.
05 - Massage all those spices in so the chicken's fully covered.
06 - Put a chicken piece in the middle of each foil sheet.
07 - Add some corn, beans, tomatoes, onion, and peppers right on top of the chicken.
08 - Sprinkle about 1/4 cup or 60 grams of cheddar cheese over each piece of chicken.
09 - Bring the foil sides up and pinch them closed tight to make a little bundle for each chicken.
10 - Slide your foil bundles onto a baking tray and cook for about 25 to 30 minutes, or till you see 75°C inside the chicken.
11 - While that bakes, toss tortillas into a dry pan for about half a minute per side till they’re soft and warm.
12 - When ready, open up the packets slowly—watch out for that steam.
13 - Drizzle lime juice all over and throw on chopped cilantro before serving.
14 - Lay every chicken breast with its toppings onto a warmed tortilla, then dig in while it’s fresh.

# Extra Tips and Tricks:

01 - You can use frozen corn instead of fresh—just thaw it first.
02 - Want more punch? Soak the chicken in oil and spices for half an hour before combining everything.
03 - Swap cheddar for Monterey Jack or even pepper jack if you like it spicy.
04 - A shake of smoked paprika adds that deep BBQ vibe.
05 - Toss some cooked rice in the packet if you want it extra filling.
