1. Start by preparing the marinade. In a medium bowl, mix together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
2. Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and add them to the marinade. Toss to coat evenly, then cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (or up to overnight for more flavor).
3. While the chicken marinates, slice the bell peppers and red onion into thin strips.
4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a dash of olive oil and sauté the peppers and onions for about 5-7 minutes, or until softened and slightly charred. Remove the veggies from the skillet and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, add the marinated chicken strips. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
6. Return the sautéed peppers and onions to the skillet with the chicken. Toss everything together and heat for an additional 2 minutes to combine the flavors.
7. Warm the flour tortillas in a skillet or microwave, then lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface.
8. Assemble the wraps by adding a layer of shredded lettuce to the center of each tortilla. Top with the chicken and veggie mixture, then add shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a drizzle of fresh lime juice, if desired.
9. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly. Secure with foil or parchment paper for easy transport if taking on the go.
10. Serve immediately, or refrigerate wrapped fajitas for up to 2 days for a convenient lunch or quick meal.
