Recipe Summary

• Prep Time: 20 minutes
• Cook Time: 15 minutes
• Total Time: 35 minutes
• Servings: 4
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons fajita seasoning
• 8 small flour tortillas
• Fresh lime wedges, for serving
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
• Sour cream (optional)
• Guacamole (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and season with 1 teaspoon of fajita seasoning. Cook for 6-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion, and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred around the edges. Sprinkle with the remaining fajita seasoning and stir to combine.
3. Return the chicken to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
4. Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat or wrap them in foil and heat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5-7 minutes.
5. Assemble the wraps by adding a generous spoonful of the chicken and vegetable mixture to each tortilla. Top with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, and, if desired, a dollop of sour cream or guacamole.
6. Serve the wraps with additional lime wedges and enjoy!

Helpful Tips

• Customization: Feel free to add other vegetables you love, such as mushrooms or zucchini, for extra flavor and nutrition.
• Substitution: If you prefer, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier option.
• Make-Ahead: Cook the chicken and vegetables ahead of time and store them in the fridge. When ready to serve, simply reheat and assemble the wraps.
• Storage: Leftover chicken and vegetable filling can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Pairings

• Side Dishes: Serve with Mexican rice, refried beans, or a fresh green salad.
• Drinks: Complement your meal with a glass of chilled iced tea, sparkling water with lime, or a refreshing horchata.
