Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Fajita seasoning
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar-jack cheese
• 0.5 cup Mexi-Ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. In a bowl, toss the chicken strips with fajita seasoning, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the peppers and onion, and sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until softened and slightly caramelized.

Step 4

Lay a large flour tortilla on a flat surface. Spread 2 tablespoons of Mexi-Ranch dressing in the center of the tortilla.

Step 5

Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of shredded cheese over the dressing. Add a portion of the cooked chicken strips, followed by a portion of the sautéed peppers and onion.

Step 6

Tightly roll up the tortilla, folding in the sides as you go to create a secure wrap. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.

Step 7

If desired, warm the assembled rollups in a preheated skillet or grill pan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side to toast the tortillas and melt the cheese.

Step 8

Slice each rollup in half diagonally, garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve immediately with extra Mexi-Ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
