**Tips for the Perfect Chicken Fajita Wrap:**
– **Marinate for Maximum Flavor:** Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to absorb all the delicious spices.
– **Use a Hot Pan:** Cooking the chicken and veggies on high heat gives them a nice char, enhancing the fajita flavor.
– **Customize Your Wrap:** Add toppings like avocado, salsa, or jalapeños for extra flavor and spice.
– **Choose the Right Tortilla:** Use large flour tortillas for easy wrapping, or go for whole wheat for a healthier option.
– **Make it Healthier:** Swap sour cream for Greek yogurt, and use lean chicken breast for a lower-calorie meal.
– **Meal Prep Friendly:** Store cooked chicken and veggies separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days, then assemble fresh wraps when needed.
