Prepare the Chicken:
In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken with olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.

Fill each tortilla with a portion of the cooked chicken.
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, shredded cheese, and sliced jalapeƱos (if using).
