Instructions:
Prepare the Chicken:

Add sliced bell peppers and onions, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until slightly softened.
Remove from the pan and set aside.
Cook the Chicken:
In the same pan, cook the marinated chicken strips over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and slightly charred.
Assemble the Wraps:
Warm the tortillas on a dry pan for 30 seconds on each side.
Spread sour cream or Greek yogurt over the tortilla.
Add a layer of sautéed vegetables, followed by the cooked chicken.
Sprinkle shredded cheese and drizzle with guacamole if desired.
Roll the tortilla tightly into a wrap.
Toast the Wraps (Optional):
Place the assembled wraps on a grill pan or skillet and toast for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Serve & Enjoy:
Slice the wraps in half, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve with fries or a side salad.
Tips for the Perfect Chicken Fajita Wrap
✔ Marinate for Maximum Flavor: Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to absorb all the delicious spices.
✔ Use a Hot Pan: Cooking the chicken and veggies on high heat gives them a nice char, enhancing the fajita flavor.
✔ Customize Your Wrap: Add toppings like avocado, salsa, or jalapeños for extra flavor and spice.
✔ Choose the Right Tortilla: Use large flour tortillas for easy wrapping, or go for whole wheat for a healthier option.
✔ Make it Healthier: Swap sour cream for Greek yogurt, and use lean chicken breast for a lower-calorie meal.
✔ Meal Prep Friendly: Store cooked chicken and veggies separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days, then assemble fresh wraps when needed.
