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

Method
 

1. Cook the Chicken
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Season chicken tenderloins with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet.
  3. 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
  1. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Toss in the sliced bell peppers and onion.
  2. Cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
3. Combine the Fajita Mix
  1. Return the sliced chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.
  2. Add the fajita seasoning mix and water. Stir well to coat everything in the seasoning.
  3. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat.
4. Assemble the Wraps
  1. Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them pliable.
  2. Spread a thin layer of refried beans over each tortilla.
  3. Add a generous portion of the chicken and vegetable mixture, then sprinkle with shredded cheese.
5. Grill the Wraps
  1. Fold the tortillas into wraps, tucking in the sides.
  2. 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
  1. 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.
