Ingredients:

  • 6g black tea BBQ seasoning
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 bell peppers (red and green), sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 8 large flour tortillas

Instructions:

Prepare the Black Tea Marinade:

  • In a small bowl, mix the black tea BBQ seasoning with the boiling water. Allow the tea to steep for 3-4 minutes, then strain and let it cool. This mixture will be used to marinate the chicken.

Marinate the Chicken:

  • Place the sliced chicken in a shallow dish and pour the cooled black tea marinade over it. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.

Prepare the Fajita Mix:

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and bell peppers, and cook until the vegetables are softened and slightly charred, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the marinated chicken to the skillet, discarding the marinade, and cook until the chicken is no longer pink and is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika. Season with salt and pepper.

Assemble the Wraps:

  • Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean work surface. Spread a layer of sour cream on each tortilla, followed by a layer of shredded lettuce, cheese, and salsa.
  • Add the cooked chicken and vegetable mixture to the center of each tortilla. Top with chopped fresh cilantro.

Roll the Wraps:

  • Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll up the wrap, enclosing the filling.

Serve:

  • Serve the Mexican Chicken Fajita Wraps immediately, with additional salsa on the side for dipping.
  • Enjoy your Mexican Chicken Fajita Wraps, a flavorful and satisfying meal that's perfect for a quick lunch or a casual dinner. The combination of tender chicken, crisp vegetables, and a hint of black tea BBQ seasoning creates a unique and delicious twist on a classic Mexican dish.
