Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 medium red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

1 medium green bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

1 medium onion, sliced

4 large whole wheat tortillas

1 cup shredded lettuce (green leaf or romaine)

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt, for a tangy twist

1 cup fresh salsa (store-bought or homemade)

Fresh cilantro, roughly chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken strips with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a spoon to ensure that every piece of chicken is evenly coated. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the chicken to absorb the flavors.

    Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken strips. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.

      Add Veggies: When the chicken is cooked, add the sliced red and green bell peppers along with the onion to the skillet. Stir-fry everything together for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are vibrant and tender yet retain a slight crunch.

        Assemble the Wraps: On a clean surface, lay out the whole wheat tortillas. Starting in the center of each tortilla, layer shredded lettuce, followed by a generous scoop of the chicken and vegetable mixture. Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheese.

          Add Toppings: On top of the filled tortillas, add a generous dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for creaminess, and a spoonful of fresh salsa for a burst of flavor. If you're a cilantro lover, a sprinkle of freshly chopped cilantro will elevate the dish.

            Wrap It Up: Carefully fold in the sides of each tortilla over the filling. Starting from the bottom, roll the tortilla tightly upward to secure the fillings inside each wrap. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas until all are prepared.

              Serve: For an appealing presentation, slice each wrap in half diagonally to showcase the colorful filling. Arrange the wraps on a platter and serve with additional salsa on the side for dipping. Enjoy your flavorful and vibrant Spicy Chicken Fiesta Wraps!
