First, prepare the chicken by slicing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into thin strips.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the sliced chicken to the bowl, tossing well to ensure each piece is coated with the marinade. Set aside while preparing the vegetables.
Core and thinly slice the red and green bell peppers, and peel and slice the onion into thin rings.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the marinated chicken strips. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking, until golden and cooked through.
Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate. In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté them for about 5 minutes, or until they become soft and slightly charred.
Squeeze the juice of one large lime over the cooked peppers and onions, and toss the chicken back into the skillet. Stir everything together to combine and heat through for another 2 minutes.
To assemble the wraps, lay the Romaine lettuce leaves flat on a clean surface. Divide the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly among the 8 lettuce leaves.
Top each lettuce wrap with a small dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro for garnish.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your low-carb chicken fajita wraps!
