Ingredients
  

1 lb chicken breast, sliced into thin strips

1 bell pepper (any color), sliced into thin strips

1 medium onion, sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

4 large flour tortillas

1 cup shredded cheese (choosing between cheddar or a Mexican blend)

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup salsa

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Heat the Pan: Begin by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to warm for about 1 minute.

    Cook the Chicken: Introduce the sliced chicken strips to the skillet. Season the chicken with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink on the inside.

      Add Veggies: Once the chicken is cooked, incorporate the sliced bell pepper and onion into the skillet. Stir frequently and let them cook together for an additional 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and their colors brighten while the chicken takes on a beautiful golden hue.

        Warm the Tortillas: To prepare the tortillas, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 30 seconds. This step softens them, making it easier to wrap your fajitas.

          Assemble the Wraps: With a tortilla placed flat on your work surface, take a generous spoonful of the chicken and vegetable mixture and place it in the center. Sprinkle a handful of the shredded cheese over the top, followed by a dollop of sour cream and a spoonful of salsa.

            Wrap It Up: Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll the bottom up tightly to secure the filling, forming a neat wrap. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas until all fillings are used.

              Serve: Slice each wrap in half diagonally for an appealing presentation. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, and consider serving with a side of extra salsa for dipping.

                Prep Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 25 minutes | Servings: 4 wraps

                  - Presentation Tips: Arrange the wraps on a colorful platter, with a small bowl of salsa in the center for dipping. Garnish the platter with a sprinkle of extra cilantro for added freshness.
