Ingredients
Scale
Protein & Vegetables
- 1 pound chicken breast, sliced into ¼-inch strips
- 1 ½ large bell peppers, sliced into ¼-inch strips
- ½ medium red onion, sliced into ¼-inch strips
Spices & Seasonings
- 2 teaspoons oregano
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
Other Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium lime, juice only (about 2 tablespoons)
- 4 large flour tortillas (12 inch)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients. Slice the chicken breast, bell peppers, and red onion into ¼-inch strips. Prepare any additional desired toppings to have ready for assembling the wraps.
- Season Chicken. In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken with oregano, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt, tossing well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated with the spices.
- Cook Chicken. Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken strips and cook for 9-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and cover to keep warm.
- Sauté Vegetables. In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and red onion. Cover the skillet and cook for 7-8 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp. Remove the lid, return the cooked chicken to the skillet, and squeeze the lime juice over the mixture, stirring to combine.
- Assemble Wraps. Divide the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly among the flour tortillas. Add any additional desired toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, or shredded cheese.
- Fold Tortillas. Fold the sides of each tortilla toward the center, then fold one remaining side over the center and roll tightly to form wraps.
- Toast Wraps. Spray a clean skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down on the skillet and cook for about 30-60 seconds per side until browned and slightly crispy, helping the wrap hold its shape.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken with the spices for 30 minutes before cooking.
- You can substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas as preferred.
- Add toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, or salsa for enhanced taste.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
