Use the text below to answer the question that follows.
The onions popped and sizzled when the chef dropped them into the hot frying pan. He had just finished chopping two bell peppers, and he threw them in, too. Once the onions and peppers were hot, he put the diced chicken breast into the pan to cook. He splashed some olive oil down into the pan and swirled it so that the oil would cover the whole pan. The chef could feel the heat rise up and warm his rosy cheeks as he swirled the pan. As the chicken cooked, the scent from the pepper and onions grew stronger and filled the kitchen. Then, the chef began to flip the pan up with his wrist to toss the ingredients into the air. A mixture of red, green, white, and yellow streaked in the air before landing back in the pan. Once the chicken was completely cooked, the chef put all the food on a plate. A waiter grabbed the plate along with three other dishes and headed out the kitchen door. He set the plates down and arranged the chicken, shredded cheese, guacamole, sour cream, and flour tortillas in front of a man and woman sitting down at a table. The woman filled a tortilla with a few pieces of chicken, some onions, and a sprinkle of cheese and rolled it all up. The man, on the other hand, stuffed his tortilla full of sour cream, guacamole, cheese, and chicken so that he could barely close the tortilla. He took an enormous bite while his wife nibbled on her fajita, and both of them smiled.
