Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large green bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 4 pieces large flour tortillas
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup cilantro
Instructions
Begin by slicing the chicken breasts into thin strips and set them aside.
Slice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into thin strips. Cut the onion into thin slices as well.
In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly browned.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the chicken and vegetables, and drizzle with lime juice. Toss everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
To assemble the wraps, spread a tablespoon of sour cream onto each warm tortilla. Evenly distribute the chicken and vegetable mixture among the tortillas.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the filling and top with a few cilantro leaves.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly into a wrap.
Serve the chicken fajita wraps warm. Enjoy your flavorful and satisfying meal!
