Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
• 4 pieces low-carb tortillas
• 2 cups shredded lettuce
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 large avocado
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 medium lime
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by prepping the vegetables: slice the red and green bell peppers and the yellow onion into thin strips.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into thin slices, approximately 1/2 inch thick.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken slices and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of fajita seasoning over the chicken and stir well. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, heat another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft and slightly charred. Add the remaining tablespoon of fajita seasoning and stir well.

Step 5

Warm the low-carb tortillas either in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 15-20 seconds.

Step 6

Assemble each burrito by laying a tortilla flat and adding a quarter of the chicken and vegetable mixture to the center.

Step 7

Top with shredded lettuce, a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, a few slices of avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro.

Step 8

Squeeze a little lime juice over the filling, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom to form a tight burrito.

Step 10

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb chicken fajita burritos!
