Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1/2 inch thick.
Cut the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into thin strips, discarding the seeds and pith.
Slice the onion into thin half-moons.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken strips to the skillet. Sprinkle with the low sodium fajita seasoning and ground black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 7-8 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the chicken to the skillet and mix with the vegetables until well combined, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a microwave or oven until they are pliable.
Slice the avocado into thin slices and wash the cilantro leaves.
To assemble the wrap, place a portion of the chicken and vegetable mixture down the center of each tortilla.
Add a few avocado slices and a sprinkling of cilantro leaves.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the filling for added flavor.
Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, then slice in half if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy low sodium chicken fajita wraps.
