- On a baking sheet, broil the jalapeno peppers, turning occasionally, for 7-10 min. or until blackened. Let cool slightly. Remove skins and seeds, chop finely.
- Stir 1 tsp. of the chopped jalapeno into the mayo and set aside.

- Whisk together the remaining jalapeno, oil, lime juice, 1 Tbsp. water, sugar, and pepper. Stir into couscous. Stir in avocado, corn, and tomato.
- Meanwhile, stir together oil, chili powder, and oregano, and then brush all over the chicken. Broil on a greased baking sheet for about 5 min. per side or until chicken is no longer pink inside. You can BBQ the chicken if you prefer. Cut chicken into thin strips.
- Take tortilla shells of your choice and spread the mayo mixture over each tortilla, leaving a 1" border.
- Starting just below the center of the tortilla, mound couscous filling, top with chicken, and fold and roll up as usual for a tortilla.
