Description

These high protein chicken fajita burritos are packed with flavorful grilled chicken, sautéed peppers and onions, and black beans, all wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla for a nutritious and satisfying meal.


Ingredients

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 cup cooked black beans, drained and rinsed
4 large whole wheat tortillas (10-inch)
1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 lime, cut into wedges


Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the sliced chicken breast to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the spice mixture.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the seasoned chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and yellow onion.
Sauté the vegetables for 6-8 minutes until they are tender-crisp and slightly caramelized.
Add the cooked black beans to the skillet with the vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until heated through.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix everything together. Remove from heat.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 20 seconds to make them pliable.
Divide the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing it in the center of each.
Sprinkle each with shredded cheddar cheese and a tablespoon of Greek yogurt.
Add chopped cilantro on top, then fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll tightly to form burritos.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the burritos.
