Ingredients

For the Wraps

  • 1 pound chicken tenderloins
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 bell peppers, sliced (choose red, yellow, or green)
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 packet fajita seasoning mix
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 can (15 oz) refried beans
  • 4 large flour tortillas

Optional Garnishes

  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Salsa or hot sauce
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

1. Cook the Chicken

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Season chicken tenderloins with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet.
  • Cook for 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Remove from skillet and let rest before slicing into thin strips.

2. Sauté the Vegetables

  • In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Toss in the sliced bell peppers and onion.
  • Cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

3. Combine the Fajita Mix

  • Return the sliced chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.
  • Add the fajita seasoning mix and water. Stir well to coat everything in the seasoning.
  • Simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat.

4. Assemble the Wraps

  • Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them pliable.
  • Spread a thin layer of refried beans over each tortilla.
  • Add a generous portion of the chicken and vegetable mixture, then sprinkle with shredded cheese.

5. Grill the Wraps

  • Fold the tortillas into wraps, tucking in the sides.
  • Heat a clean skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and toast for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.

6. Garnish and Serve

  • Serve hot with fresh cilantro, salsa, lime wedges, or any other toppings you love.

Tips for Perfect Fajita Wraps

  1. Avoid Overfilling: Keep your fillings manageable to ensure your wraps stay intact.
  2. Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh bell peppers and high-quality chicken make a big difference in flavor.
  3. Warm Tortillas First: This makes them easier to fold without breaking.
  4. Customize the Spice Level: Adjust the heat by adding jalapeños or extra hot sauce.
