  3. Heat gas or charcoal grill.
  4. Cut 2 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil.
  5. Remove chicken and vegetables from marinade; discard marinade.
  6. Place half of chicken and vegetables on center of each sheet. Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.

  9. Serve each chicken and vegetable packet with 2 tortillas. If desired, top tortillas with shredded lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese and salsa.
