Ingredients

Avocado Cilantro Crema

  • 1 avocado
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • zest and juice of 1 lime

Wraps

  • 2 lbs chicken breasts, cut into strips
  • 4 bell pepper, seed removed and sliced into thin strips
  • 1 large white onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 10 large tortillas or wraps
  • 2 bags Uncle Ben's Ready Rice
  • 2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese

Instructions

Avocado Cilantro Crema

  • Add the avocado, cilantro, Greek yogurt, olive oil, salt, lime zest and juice to a blender. Blend until smooth and set aside.

Wraps

  • Place chicken in large mixing bowl and add chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  • Heat large skillet over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. Add chicken into skillet and cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
  • Add peppers and onion into same skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes. You want them to be tender and slightly blackened. Add chicken back into skillet to warm through and set aside.
  • Spread a spoonful of the crema before adding ¼ cup of rice. Top with ½ cup of the fajita mixture and ¼ cup of cheese. Wrap tortillas tightly into a burrito shape and placing seam down. While filling and wrapping the wraps, heat a large ridged skillet over medium heat and spray with some oil cooking spray.
  • Put two wraps folded side down on ridged skillet. Cook each side for about 3 minutes or until you get grill marks. Repeat until all wraps are done.

Notes

  • If you don’t want to make your own fajita seasoning, you can easily buy one at the grocery store. You'll need 2 packets.
  • Slice the chicken and vegetables as close to the same thickness as possible so they cook evenly.
  • 90 second rice is easy to prepare and works great for these wraps.
  • Buy a block of pepper jack cheese and shred it yourself. Pre-shredded cheese just doesn’t taste the same.
