Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 green bell pepper, sliced

1 medium onion, sliced

4 large flour tortillas

1 ripe avocado, mashed

Juice of 1 lime

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional, for serving)

Sliced jalapeños (optional, for extra kick)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated with the spices. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

    Cook the Fajita Filling: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced red and green bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

        Combine: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir well to combine and heat through for another 2-3 minutes.

          Prepare the Avocado Spread: In a small bowl, mash the avocado and mix in the lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste. This will add a creamy element to your wraps.

            Assemble the Wrap: Lay each flour tortilla flat and spread a generous layer of the avocado mixture in the center. Top with a hearty scoop of the chicken and vegetable mixture, then sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Add jalapeños if desired for extra heat.

              Roll it Up: Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla in and roll it away from you to secure the filling. Slice in half if you wish.

                Serve: Serve the wraps warm with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt on the side, and enjoy your delicious Easy Chicken Fajita Wraps!
