Ingredients

for the wraps:

  • 1 lb (450g) chicken breast
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Fajita seasoning or taco seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons frying oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 bell peppers
  • 1 medium red onion
  • 4 large tortilla wraps burrito-style
  • 16 slices Swiss cheese or Pepper Jack
  • salt and pepper to taste

for the sauce:

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1/3 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 4 teaspoons lime juice
  • 1/4 cup cilantro
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 small clove garlic
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the ingredients: Cut the chicken into 1-inch (2.5cm) wide strips. Cut bell peppers into strips and onion in half then into slices.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together Fajita seasoning and 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
  • Make the sauce: add all the ingredients to a food processor and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cook the chicken and vegetables: In a large frying pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips in an even layer and cook until browned. Turn over and cook until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and drizzle immediately with lime juice.
  • Add the bell peppers and onion in an even layer to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned and softened but still crunchy. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a plate.
  • Assemble the wraps: Place 4 slices of cheese on each wrap, top with the chicken and vegetables. Drizzle over the juices from the chicken mixed with lime juice (from the plate where the chicken was). Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of avocado sauce on each wrap.
  • Wrap like a burrito. Place the wrap in a sandwich/panini press until warm. You could also reheat it in the oven or in a pan, just to melt the cheese.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Keep all the ingredients separately and assemble just before serving or the tortilla wraps will be soggy. Keep the avocado sauce in the fridge for up to 3 days covered with plastic foil that should touch the surface of the sauce.
  • Calories = 1 wrap (1/4 of the recipe). This is only an estimate!
