Slice the red and green bell peppers and the yellow onion into thin strips.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the plant-based chicken strips to the vegetables. Sprinkle with the fajita seasoning, and stir well to coat evenly.
Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the plant-based chicken strips are heated through and slightly brown.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a separate skillet or in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds to make them pliable.
To assemble the wraps, place a portion of the fajita mixture onto each tortilla.
Top with a dollop of sour cream, a squeeze of lime juice, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, roll it up, and serve immediately.
