• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon chili powder

For the Sautéed Vegetables:

• 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
• 1/4 cup guacamole (optional)
• Fresh cilantro and lime wedges for garnish

Instructions for Chicken Fajita Wraps

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

1. In a large bowl, toss the chicken strips with olive oil, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the chicken and mix well.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

1. In the same skillet, add olive oil, sliced bell peppers, and onions.
2. Cook over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened but still slightly crisp. Remove from heat.

Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

1. Warm the flour tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them soft and pliable.
2. Spread a thin layer of sour cream or guacamole on each tortilla (if using).
3. Layer with cooked chicken, sautéed peppers and onions, and shredded cheese.
4. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly to form a wrap.

Step 4: Toast the Wrap (Optional)

1. If you prefer a crispy exterior, lightly toast the wraps in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

1. Slice the wraps in half and serve with fresh cilantro, extra lime wedges, and your favorite dipping sauces like salsa or ranch dressing.

Tips for the Best Chicken Fajita Wraps

🌟 Marinate the Chicken for Extra Flavor
Let the chicken sit in the seasoning for at least 15 minutes (or overnight) for the best taste.

🔥 Don’t Overcook the Vegetables
For that perfect fajita texture, keep the bell peppers slightly crisp.

🧄 Add Extra Flavor
A dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of fresh garlic can enhance the smoky flavors.

🌯 Make It Healthier
Use whole wheat tortillas, lettuce wraps, or low-carb tortillas for a lighter version.
