Last week we combined Mexican night and sandwich night together and had these chicken fajita wraps. They were great!! I marinated some chicken, onions and peppers and pan sautéed it before assembling the wraps. Feel free to skip this step and use precooked southwestern chicken strips. We used pepper-jack cheese to give these a little kick. We ate the wraps with some chips and homemade salsa.
Chicken Fajita Wraps
(Printable Recipe)
1 lb chicken tenders
1/2 bottle Lawry's Mesquite marinade
onion, sliced
green pepper, sliced
2 tsp olive oil
salsa
6-8 pepper jack cheese slices
6-8 soft taco flour tortillas
Place chicken, sliced onion and peppers in a gallon ziplock bag. Pour marinade over the mixture and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
Heat olive oil in large skillet. Remove chicken, onions and peppers from marinade; add to skillet. Cook 7-10 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink. Remove from skillet and chop chicken mixture into bite-size pieces.
For the wrap:
Lay the tortilla on a flat surface. Layer ingredients on tortilla starting with 1 slice cheese, chopped chicken mixture and topping with some salsa, if desired. Roll up the sides of the tortilla and place in grill pan. Top tortilla with grill press and grill until golden brown. Turn over and brown the other side. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

YUMMY! I'm leaving out the peppers because the flavor overpowers the dish. Otherwise, this is going to be good TONIGHT!
Steph, these look fantastic!
I like that you marinated the vegetables also!
A good combo!
I'm at work sneaking a peak and now I am starving. These look so good. I make fajitas often and never thought to grill them so they get a little crispy. SO YUMMY!
This will be tonight's dinner! Looks yummy.
We made these for dinner last night. I will NEVER make fajitas @ home any other way. My grocery store didn't have the Lawry's marinade and I used the Jack Daniel's brand. I was afraid it was going to be too strong but it was delicious!!!! Next time, we will add some steak in there as well.
As always, thanks Stephanie, for the great recipes!
These were delish! Definitely going in the keepers!
Your chicken wraps looks so sumptuous specially the filling. Looks like you added so many flavorful ingredients inside. I wonder if I could put some curry powder in it?
Hey, Step, could I use a panini press for these?? Thanks for sharing Jack, Fluffy & Sherbet every Meownday!!
Lynda - a panini press would be perfect. I don't have one. That I why I use the grill pan. Enjoy!
