Common Questions About Chicken Fajita Wraps

Can I Use Different Types of Tortillas?

Yes, you can! While flour tortillas are traditionally used, you can also use corn tortillas, whole wheat tortillas, or even lettuce wraps for a low-carb option.

Each type of tortilla will give your fajita wraps a unique texture and flavor. Feel free to choose what best suits your taste and dietary preferences.

Can I Make Chicken Fajita Wraps Ahead of Time?

Absolutely! Chicken Fajita Wraps can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Simply reheat the chicken and vegetable mixture in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, then assemble the wraps as usual. This makes it a great option for meal prep or quick lunches.

What Can I Use as Toppings for Chicken Fajita Wraps?

The sky’s the limit when it comes to toppings! Some popular choices include shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, sliced avocado, lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and fresh cilantro.

These toppings add extra flavor and texture to your wraps, making them even more delicious.

Storage

The meat and veggies are amazing to have in the fridge. Just reheat it whenever you’re looking for a quick and delicious meal!

Refrigerator

Store any leftover Chicken Fajita Wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The chicken and vegetable mixture will stay fresh for up to three days.

Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave before assembling your wraps.

How to Make Chicken Fajita Wraps

Fresh avocado is something I can’t get enough of. I have it as an optional ingredient, but for me, it’s mandatory!

Skillet Preparation

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. 
2. Add the sliced chicken to the skillet and season with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and paprika. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and slightly browned, about 5-6 minutes. 
3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil along with the sliced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic in the same skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.

Oven Preparation

1. Toss the chicken, sliced onion, bell peppers, olive oil, and fajita seasoning together in a large bowl until everything is evenly coated.
2. Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
3. Bake for about 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, stirring halfway through cooking.

Assemble

1. Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave according to package instructions.
2. Place a spoonful of the chicken and vegetable mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Add any desired toppings, then fold in the sides and roll up tightly.
3. Serve the chicken fajita wraps immediately, with additional toppings on the side if desired.
