Grilled Fajita Wraps
Ingredients:
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 bell peppers, sliced
– 1 large onion, sliced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 6-8 large flour tortillas
– Toppings: shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, salsa, sour cream, guacamole
Instructions:
1. Begin by preparing the marinade for the chicken. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. This flavorful marinade will infuse the chicken with a delicious blend of spices.
2. Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and place them in a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag, and massage the marinade into the chicken to ensure it’s well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or ideally, overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating up, prepare the vegetables by slicing the bell peppers and onion into strips.
4. Once the grill is hot, remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and nicely charred. At the same time, place the bell peppers and onions in a grill basket or directly on the grill grates and cook until they are tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.
5. While the chicken and veggies are grilling, warm the flour tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side, until they are soft and pliable.
6. Once everything is cooked, assemble your fajita wraps. Place a generous portion of grilled chicken, peppers, and onions down the center of each tortilla. Top with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.
7. To wrap the fajitas, fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
8. Serve the Grilled Fajita Wraps immediately, alongside extra toppings and a squeeze of fresh lime juice for an added burst of flavor. Enjoy the delicious blend of grilled goodness in every bite!
