In a skillet bring the stock to a boil and add the onions and bell pepper.
Saute the vegetables over medium heat until softened (about 5 to 7 minutes).
Add the cilantro, chiles, chicken or turkey, rice and seasonings.
Stir well, cover and cook over low heat for 4 to 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
Heat the tortillas in the oven until hot but still pliable.
Spoon about 1/3 cup of the filling into each warmed tortilla.
Add raw vegetable garnishes.
Fold tortilla in half and eat sandwich style.
A dollop of nonfat yogurt, a few drops of bottled hot sauce or picante sauce and a little chopped fresh cilantro may be used as additional garnishes for extra flavor.
Yields 12 tacos (about 4 to 6 servings).
