Ingredients

  • grilled chicken strips 5 oz
  • bell peppers 1/2 cup
  • onions 1/2 cup
  • whole wheat tortillas 2 pieces
  • olive oil 1 tsp
  • fajita seasoning 1 tbsp

Method

  1. Prepare the vegetables. Wash and slice the bell peppers and onions into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide. This helps them cook evenly and quickly.
    Tip: Use a sharp knife to make slicing easier and safer.
  2. Heat the pan and add oil. Place a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and let it warm up for about 30 seconds.
    Tip: You can test if the oil is hot enough by flicking a tiny drop of water into the pan; it should sizzle.
  3. Sauté the peppers and onions. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions to the pan. Stir frequently and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
    Tip: Keep stirring to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
  4. Add fajita seasoning. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of fajita seasoning evenly over the sautéed vegetables. Stir well to coat all pieces with the seasoning.
    Tip: Adjust seasoning amount to your taste preference.
  5. Add grilled chicken strips. Add the 5 oz grilled chicken strips to the pan with the vegetables. Stir gently to combine and heat through for 2-3 minutes.
    Tip: Make sure the chicken is fully warmed but avoid overcooking to keep it juicy.
  6. Warm the tortillas. While the chicken and vegetables finish cooking, warm the whole wheat tortillas. You can do this in a separate dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20 seconds.
    Tip: Warming tortillas makes them more pliable and easier to fold.
  7. Assemble and serve. Divide the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly between the two warmed tortillas. Fold or roll the tortillas to enclose the filling and serve immediately.
    Tip: Add fresh salsa, guacamole, or a squeeze of lime for extra flavor if desired.

Pro tips

  • Use pre-grilled chicken strips to save time and ensure even cooking.
  • Slice vegetables uniformly for consistent cooking and better presentation.
