Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon fajita seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into strips

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

4 large whole wheat tortillas

1 ripe avocado, mashed into a smooth spread

Juice of 1 fresh lime

Fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped (for garnish)

Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sliced jalapeños, or sour cream

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken, olive oil, fajita seasoning, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a spoon to toss the chicken until each piece is evenly coated with the marinade. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes as you prepare the vegetables.

    Cook the Chicken: Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through with a nicely browned exterior. Ensure there's no pink inside before removing the chicken from the skillet. Transfer it to a plate and set it aside.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers along with the sliced red onion. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables soften but remain slightly crisp. If desired, season them with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance their flavors.

        Assemble the Wraps: Take one whole wheat tortilla and spread a generous layer of mashed avocado on one half of the tortilla. Layer on some of the cooked chicken and a generous helping of the sautéed vegetables. Drizzle fresh lime juice over the filling and sprinkle with chopped cilantro for added flavor.

          Wrap it Up: Fold both sides of the tortilla inward to encase the filling, then carefully roll from the bottom up to form a secure wrap. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas until all fillings are used.

            Optional Toasting: For an extra crispy texture, place the assembled fajita wraps back in the skillet (or use a panini press) with the seam side down. Toast for about 2 minutes on each side or until the tortillas are warm and golden brown, adding a delightful crunch.

              Serve: Slice the wraps in half diagonally for an appealing presentation and serve warm. Offer optional toppings like shredded cheese, sliced jalapeños, or a dollop of sour cream on the side for guests to customize their wraps.
