Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Fajitas:

1 lb chicken breast, sliced into thin strips

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 bell pepper (any color), sliced

1 medium onion, sliced

For the Avocado Sauce:

1 ripe avocado

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 clove garlic, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

Water to thin (optional)

For Assembly:

4 large tortillas (flour or corn)

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken:

    - In a large bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the sliced chicken strips and mix well to coat. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes for enhanced flavor.

      Cook the Chicken:

        - Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is crispy and fully cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

          Sauté the Veggies:

            - In the same skillet, add sliced bell pepper and onion. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until they are softened and slightly caramelized. Combine with the cooked chicken in the skillet and stir to mix.

              Prepare the Avocado Sauce:

                - In a food processor, combine the ripe avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a little water to reach your desired consistency.

                  Assemble the Wraps:

                    - Lay the tortillas flat and spread a generous amount of avocado sauce on each one. Top with a portion of the chicken and veggie mixture, followed by shredded lettuce, cheese, and fresh cilantro if desired.

                      Wrap It Up:

                        - Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and then roll them up tightly from the bottom to the top.

                          Optional - Crisping the Wraps:

                            - If desired, return the wraps to a clean skillet over medium heat and cook for about 2 minutes on each side until they are golden and crispy.

                              Serve:

                                - Slice the wraps in half and serve warm with lime wedges on the side for extra zing!
