What is a Chicken Fajita Wrap?

A Chicken Fajitas Wrap combines all the delicious elements of traditional fajitas—seasoned chicken, sautéed bell peppers and onions, and warm tortillas—into a convenient wrap. 

Fajitas are typically served on a sizzling skillet with tortillas on the side, but you get a satisfying, handheld meal by wrapping everything together.

The soft, warm tortillas hold all the ingredients, so every bite is packed with juicy chicken, crunchy veggies, and smoky spices. (It's perfection in your hand!)

How to Make Chicken Fajita Wraps at Home

Making chicken fajita wraps at home is easier than you might think! Start by slicing your chicken breast thinly, then season it generously with fajita seasoning. This mix includes chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and salt.

The next steps will depend on how you wish to cook your meat and vegetables. There are both skillet and oven variations. (All the details are in the recipe card below.)

Either way works great - and then you can proceed to the next step!

Now, to assemble your wraps, warm up your low-carb tortillas and spoon the chicken fajita filling onto each tortilla.

Add toppings like sour cream, salsa, or avocado if you'd like, then roll up the wraps tightly and enjoy!

What Ingredients Are Needed for This Recipe?

To make this flavorful dish, you'll need a few staple ingredients:

  • Chicken breast: Boneless, skinless chicken breast is best for fajitas.
  • Bell peppers: A mix of red, green, and yellow will add color and flavor.
  • Onion: A yellow onion adds a mild sweetness when sautéed.
  • Fajita seasoning: You can easily make your own with chili powder, cumin, paprika, and garlic.
  • Olive oil: For sautéing the chicken and vegetables.
  • Low-carb tortillas: Low-carb tortillas that will hold all the fillings together.
  • Optional toppings: Sour cream, blender salsa, shredded cheese, or avocado.

Can I Make Chicken Fajitas Without a Skillet?

Yes, you can! While most people make chicken fajitas in a skillet, you can also bake them in the oven for a hands-off method.

Toss the sliced chicken, bell peppers, and onions with olive oil and fajita seasoning in a large bowl, then spread them on a baking sheet.

Bake at 375°F  for about 20-25 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.

This oven method is perfect for meal prep or making a larger batch for a crowd.

Tips for Making the Best Chicken Fajitas

For restaurant-quality chicken fajitas, keep these tips in mind:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh bell peppers, onions, and chicken will give you the best flavor.
  • Don’t overcook the vegetables: Cook the peppers and onions until they're tender-crisp to maintain texture.
  • Warm the tortillas: Warm tortillas make wrapping the fajitas easier and prevent them from cracking.

How to Make This Recipe Even Easier

If you're looking for a low-maintenance meal, try using a slow cooker to make the fajita chicken.

Place the chicken, fajita seasoning, bell peppers, and onions in the slow cooker. Add one can of diced tomatoes with green chiles. Let it cook on low for 4-6 hours.

When it's done, you'll have tender chicken and flavorful veggies ready to be wrapped!

What Variations Can You Try With This Recipe?

Chicken fajitas are delicious on their own, but if you're looking to mix things up, here are some variations to try:

  • Shrimp Fajitas: Swap the chicken for shrimp for a seafood twist on fajita wraps. (Shrimp will cook faster than chicken, so adjust your cooking times accordingly.)
  • Fajita Chicken Salad: Skip the tortilla and enjoy your meat and veggies on a crisp bed of lettuce.
  • Vegetarian Fajitas: Skip the chicken and load your wrap with black beans, refried beans, and extra veggies.
  • Lettuce Wraps: Ditch the tortillas and use lettuce wraps instead for a low-carb option. This makes for a lighter yet equally delicious meal.

If you enjoy simple chicken recipes, love fajitas, or need a new dinner idea, this Chicken Fajita Wrap recipe is bound to become a staple in your home!

Oven Preparation:

  • In a large bowl, toss together the chicken slices, sliced onion, sliced bell peppers, olive oil, garlic, and spices until everything is evenly coated.
  • Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  • To assemble the wraps, place a spoonful of the chicken and vegetable mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Add any desired toppings, then fold in the sides and roll up tightly.

Skillet Preparation:
