Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large burrito-sized flour tortillas
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 bell peppers, thinly sliced (use a mix of colors)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (or smoked paprika)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Sour cream, for spreading
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • Olive oil, for cooking
 

Instructions

1. Prepare the Homemade Fajita Seasoning:

  • In a small bowl, mix together the salt, paprika, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, and sugar. Set aside.

2. Cook the Chicken:

  • Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the cooking oil.
  • Add the chicken strips to the skillet and sprinkle with about half of the homemade fajita seasoning mix.
  • Cook the chicken until it’s no longer pink in the center, stirring occasionally. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

3. Sauté the Vegetables:

  • In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed and add the thinly sliced onions and bell peppers.
  • Sprinkle the remaining homemade fajita seasoning mix over the vegetables.
  • Sauté the vegetables until they are tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Sprinkle cornstarch over the vegetables and stir well. This will help thicken the sauce.

4. Assemble the Chicken Fajita Wraps:

  • Warm the large burrito-sized tortillas.
  • On each tortilla, spread a generous amount of sour cream.
  • Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the sour cream.
  • Add a portion of the cooked chicken and sautéed vegetables on top.
  • Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up, making a burrito.

5. Crisp Up the Wraps:

  • Heat a clean skillet over medium-low heat with a teaspoon of olive oil.
  • Place the wrapped burritos seam-side down in the skillet.
  • Cook them for a few minutes on each side until they become crispy and golden brown.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

  • Slice the Chicken Fajita Wraps in half diagonally, and serve them while they’re warm.
  • Optionally, serve with your favorite dipping sauces or salsa.
