Instructions
Season the chicken with taco seasoning or homemade spice blend, then heat a cast iron skillet or large pan over medium-high heat with 1 tbps olive oil and cook the chicken for 3–4 minutes on each side or until cooked through and golden brown; remove and set aside.
In the same pan (no need to wipe it down), add 1 tablespoon more of olive oil if needed and cook the sliced onions, bell peppers, minced garlic, cilantro and a pinch of salt; let sit for 3–5 minutes without stirring to char, then toss occasionally and cook until softened but still textured; squeeze lime juice over and set aside.
Microwave or warm the tortillas for 10 - 20 seconds before assembling. If not, the shells will tear.
Lay a tortilla flat, add cheese, chicken, fajita veggies, and sour cream in the center.
Fold up the bottom first, then fold the sides in to create a parcel.
Lightly grease the skillet, place the wrap seam-side down, and sear for 1–2 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Enjoy!
