Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

1 green bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

1 medium onion, sliced

4 large flour tortillas

1 ripe avocado, mashed until smooth

Juice of 1 lime

Fresh cilantro, finely chopped (for garnish)

Sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional, for serving)

Sliced jalapeños (optional, for extra spice)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken with olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken strips thoroughly so they are uniformly coated with the spice mixture. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

    Cook the Fajita Filling: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the marinated chicken strips. Cook for approximately 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is perfectly browned and fully cooked. Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

      Sauté the Vegetables: Using the same skillet, add the sliced red and green bell peppers along with the onion. Sauté the vegetables for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and have developed a slight caramelization.

        Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir everything together, allowing it to heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes so that the flavors meld beautifully.

          Prepare the Avocado Spread: In a separate small bowl, mash the ripe avocado to your desired consistency. Mix the lime juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste. This creamy avocado blend offers a delicious contrast to the spiced chicken and vegetables.

            Assemble the Wrap: Lay each flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of the avocado mixture in the center of each tortilla. Pile on a hearty scoop of the chicken and vegetable mix, then sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top. If you enjoy some heat, add a few sliced jalapeños.

              Roll It Up: Begin rolling the tortilla away from you, carefully folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling. Once rolled tightly, you can slice each wrap in half for easier handling.

                Serve: Enjoy your Zesty Chicken Fajita Wraps while they are warm. Serve them with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt on the side for a refreshing touch.
