Crispy Chicken Fajita Wraps


If you have some cooked chicken on hand, these are so quick and very tasty.  If you want to add a little crispy cheese layer to one or both sides of the wrap, it's a fun addition, but totally optional.

Crispy Chicken Fajita Wraps

Makes 4 wraps

Ingredients:
4 large flour tortillas
2 red bell peppers, seeds removed and sliced thinly
1 small red or yellow onion, thinly sliced
Olive oil
1-2 cups shredded white cheddar cheese
1-2 cups cooked, chopped chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
Cooking spray
Extra white or yellow shredded cheddar, if desired
1-2 avocados
Salt
Sour cream or plain Greek yogurt

Directions:
1. Heat a skillet over medium heat.  Add a teaspoon or so of olive oil to a skillet.  Add peppers and onions to the skillet, and don't stir for a minute or two to let them char a bit.  Stir and saute peppers and onions until tender.  Remove from heat.

2. Heat a griddle (or clean skillet) over medium heat.  Place tortillas on the griddle and add desired amount of chicken, sauteed peppers, onions and cheese to each tortilla.  Fold up to create a flat wrap.  Spray one side lightly with cooking spray.  Turn over, spray over side.  Cook on both sides until brown and crispy.  If you want a crispy cheese layer on the outside, put a tablespoon or so of cheese directly on the griddle next to the wrap.  Let the cheese sizzle for a few seconds, then move wrap on the cheese.  Cook for another minute or so.  Remove from heat.

3. Smash avocados and mix in desired amount of salt.  Top wraps with smashed avocado and/or sour cream/plain Greek yogurt.
