Place chicken strips with marinade in the center of the skillet and cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 3 minutes; cook and stir chicken and vegetables together until liquid in skillet has evaporated, about 2 more minutes. Set chicken and vegetables aside.

Place corn tortillas on a microwave-safe plate with damp paper towels separating each tortilla. Cook in microwave until tortillas are hot and flexible, about 30 seconds.

Place corn tortillas onto 4 serving plates; spread each tortilla with 1 tablespoon sour cream.

Top each tortilla with 1/4 of the chicken and vegetable mixture; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend.

Sprinkle each tortilla with 1/4 cup lettuce and 2 tablespoons diced tomato.

Top with any other desired toppings; repeat with remaining tortillas and ingredients.
