For Assembly

- 2 tablespoons light sour cream

Instructions

- Mix around and cook all the way through, about 10-15 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add 1 tablespoon oil to deglaze then add the onions and bell peppers and sauté on high heat for 5-7 minutes, moving them around often so they don't burn.
- Add back the chicken and toss together, and remove from the heat.
For Assembly
- Take 1 tortilla and add 2 tablespoons sour cream and spread.
- Add the fajita filling and top with hot sauce, taco sauce, or siracha mayo. You can also add avocado here.
- Add cheese, and fold in half. Press until both sides crisp up and the cheese melts.
Notes
- You can rub the seasoning and salt in advance on your chicken.
- Avoid overcooking and drying out the chicken by cutting the chicken into strips.
- You can add a splash of soy sauce instead of salt to make it more tender.
- Don't forget to heat the pan, add in the olive oil and wait for the oil to begin to shimmer.
