Fajita chicken wraps are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that brings together the rich flavors of seasoned chicken, fresh vegetables, and a soft tortilla. Perfect for lunch or dinner, these wraps are not only tasty but also quite nutritious. Let's dive into a simple recipe that you'll love to make and share with your family and friends.
Instructions:
- Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips.
- Slice the onion and green pepper.
- Mince the garlic.
- In a bowl, combine the chicken strips with the minced garlic, red pepper, chili powder, and lime juice. Mix well to evenly coat the chicken.
- Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes for better flavor.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced onions and green peppers. Sauté until they begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
- Using the same skillet, add the marinated chicken strips.
- Cook until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and has a golden-brown color, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet with the chicken.
- Stir well and cook together for an additional 2 minutes to ensure the flavors meld together.
- Warm the tortilla over a dry skillet or in the microwave for a few seconds to make it more pliable.
- Lay the tortilla flat and spread the Greek yogurt evenly over the surface.
- Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture onto the center of the tortilla.
- Drizzle the salsa sauce on top of the chicken and vegetables.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, then roll it up from the bottom to the top to form a secure wrap.
- Slice the wrap in half, if desired, and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Marinate the chicken in the spice mixture with lime juice for at least 30 minutes before cooking to enhance the flavor.
- Cook the chicken on medium-high heat to ensure it remains juicy while getting a nice sear.
- Slice the vegetables thinly for even cooking and a better texture in the wrap.
- Warm the tortilla in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make it more pliable and easy to wrap.
- Serve the wrap immediately after assembling to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
