To marinate the chicken
Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a ziploc bag.
Pound the chicken breasts to a thickness of 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. Add the chicken breasts to the bag with the marinade.
Toss well to coat the chicken in the marinade, then set aside for only 10-15 minutes before searing them on a preheated two-sided grill (top and bottom heating) for about 4 minutes.
To prepare the panini wraps
Cut the peppers in large slices and grill them for a couple of minutes on the two-sided grill.
Slice the peppers and chicken and roll them in them inside the tortillas along with the cheese.
Return to the two-sided grill and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until the cheese has melted and there are good grill marks on the tortilla. Serve with homemade salsa and lime guocamole.
