Make

Heat up a skillet or saute pan over medium heat. Add oil and then red onions to heated oil. Saute for ~2 minutes.
Add red peppers with cumin, paprika and oregano. Saute for 4 to 6 minutes, until peppers are slightly softened.
Add chicken. Saute for another 2 minutes, just to warm chicken up.
Add red wine vinegar and saute for another 30 seconds and remove from heat. Season to taste with some salt and pepper.
Spoon chicken and red peppers into lettuce leaves. Top with tomatoes and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Enjoy with cucumber salad on the side.
