Chicken Fajita Wrap

This chicken fajita wrap is quick to make, full of smoky, savoury flavour, and perfect for an easy & tasty lunch or dinner. Made with a simple spice mix & crunchy veg  - it's a great way to switch up your usual wrap routine and is ready in just 20 minutes!!

If you're stuck in a bit of a lunch rut or need something quick and filling for dinner, this Chicken Fajita Wrap is always a good shout. It's loaded with juicy spiced chicken, peppers, onions, and that classic combo of sour cream, cheese, and crunchy lettuce - all wrapped up in a soft tortilla.

As a food blogger and mum, I'm forever testing simple meals that actually work for busy days - and wraps like this are a go-to in our house. It's a proper crowd-pleaser too - easy enough for weekdays but tasty enough that everyone gets excited when it's on the menu. 

You can choose to up the spice level by adding some chilli powder or leave it out to suit the kids.

 It's also a great one to batch cook - just double up the chicken and veg, and you've got lunches sorted for the next couple of days with barely any extra effort.

If you've already tried my Chicken Tikka Wrap or Cheesy BBQ Chicken Wrap, this one's just as simple - but just as tasty!

🥘 Ingredients You Will Need & Notes

✋ Double check all packaging for allergens ✋

• Chicken breast - This is sliced into thin strips. Use skinless and boneless breasts.
• Spices - I've used a mixture of smoked paprika, cumin, garlic granules, onion granules & oregano. To add some extra heat, add a pinch of chilli powder.
• Red Pepper & Red Onion - You can also use white onion and yellow or orange peppers. I wouldn't recommend using green peppers, as these can be quite bitter.
• Iceberg lettuce - I love the crunch of thinly sliced iceberg lettuce!
• Sour cream - you can also sub this for a Greek yoghurt.
• Grated cheese - I usually go for a block of cheese and grate it myself - it melts better than the pre-grated kind, which sometimes has added stuff to stop it clumping.

✏️ How to Make Chicken Fajita Wraps 

⬇️ Here you will find an overview of how to make the recipe. For full information on ingredients and quantities please see the recipe card at the bottom of the page ⬇️

Step 1: Slice your chicken into thin strips and pop it in a bowl with the olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic granules, onion granules, oregano, olive oil and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Add a little chilli powder if you fancy a kick. Give it a good mix so the chicken's well coated.

Step 2: Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for around 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's golden and cooked through.

Step 3: While the chicken's cooking, slice your red onion and pepper. Add them straight to the pan with the chicken and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they're softened but still have a bit of bite.

Step 4: While that's finishing off, shred your lettuce and get your wraps, sour cream and grated cheese ready to go.

Step 5: Warm your wraps (10 seconds in the microwave or a quick flash in a dry pan) - this helps stop them from cracking when you roll them. Then layer on a spoonful of sour cream, some shredded lettuce, the hot chicken and veg mix, and a sprinkling of cheese.

Step 6: Fold the sides in, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Slice in half and enjoy while it's warm - or wrap it up and take it with you if you're on the go!
