Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large green bell pepper
• 1 large yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium red onion
• 4 pieces whole wheat tortillas
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 large avocado

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the chicken breasts into thin strips.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Add the chicken strips to the bowl and toss until well coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the chicken is marinating, slice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into thin strips. Also, slice the red onion into half-moon slices.

Step 4

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and red onion. Sauté the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

Step 6

While the vegetables are cooking, pit and slice the avocado.

Step 7

Warm the whole wheat tortillas either in a microwave or on another skillet for a few seconds until pliable.

Step 8

Assemble the wraps by placing an even amount of chicken and sautéed vegetables onto each tortilla. Top with fresh cilantro and slices of avocado.

Step 9

Carefully roll each tortilla to wrap the filling, folding the sides in as you go.

Step 10

Serve immediately, and enjoy your heart-healthy chicken fajita wraps!
