Slice the red and green bell peppers and the onion into thin strips.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the plant-based chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until they start to brown.
Remove the chicken strips from the skillet and set them aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, then add the sliced peppers and onion.
Cook the vegetables for about 5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
Add the cooked chicken strips back to the skillet with the vegetables.
Sprinkle the fajita seasoning over the mixture and stir well to combine.
Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until everything is evenly coated and heated through.
Warm the flour tortillas according to package instructions or over a gas flame for a few seconds on each side.
Lay a tortilla on a clean work surface, and in the center, layer 1/2 cup of cooked rice and 1/4 cup of black beans.
Add a generous portion of the fajita mixture on top of the rice and beans.
Top with sour cream, shredded cheese, pico de gallo, guacamole, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the filling.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it tightly from bottom to top to form a burrito.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
Serve warm, and enjoy your Vegetarian Chicken Fajita Burritos!
