Instructions:

- Shred the cheddar cheese if not pre-shredded.
- Shred the lettuce.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then slice it into thin strips.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and chopped jalapeno pepper.
- Cook over medium heat until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface.
- In each tortilla, layer about 1/6th of the cooked chicken strips.
- Add a portion of the cooked onions and jalapenos.
- Spoon 2 tbsp of salsa sauce over the chicken and vegetables in each tortilla.
- Sprinkle approximately 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over each wrap.
- Add about 1/2 cup of shredded lettuce to each wrap.
- Top it all off with 1 tbsp of sour cream per wrap.
- Fold the sides of each tortilla in and then roll them up from the bottom to the top, securing all the fillings inside.
- Serve immediately while warm.
Tips:
- Marinate the chicken with some lime juice and fajita seasoning for extra flavor before cooking.
- Use a mix of colored bell peppers along with the jalapeno for added color and flavor.
- Warm the tortillas slightly before assembling the wraps to make them more pliable and easier to fold.
- If you like your fajitas spicy, consider adding extra jalapenos or a dash of hot sauce.
- Serve with additional toppings such as guacamole, chopped tomatoes, or fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
These chicken fajita wraps are easy to prepare and packed with flavor. By following these tips and steps, you'll have a delicious meal that everyone will enjoy.
