    • Chicken Fajita Wrap

    The fajita seasoning blend is wonderfully savory with a subtle heat. Store-bought and homemade both work great so that you can choose your favorite! Finish the wrap with a bright salsa and sour cream for richness, and you have a winner.

    Why You’ll Love This Recipe

    • It’s a great make-ahead recipe: This recipe is the perfect example of a make-ahead meal. I love to prepare the chicken and veggies in advance and then serve the wraps later or the next day.
    • It’s easy to customize: There are several ways to make this recipe your own. Switch up the veggies, protein, or both. Don't be afraid to get creative!
    • It’s made of cheap ingredients: All the components used to make this chicken fajita wrap recipe are inexpensive and easy to find.

    Ingredients

    This chicken fajita wrap recipe contains simple, low-cost ingredients to create a delicious result. All of the components are easy to find at the grocery store at any time.

    Ingredients to make a chicken fajita wrap on the table

    For the chicken fajitas

    • Salsa: I add a jar of salsa directly into the slow cooker with the other ingredients to add moisture and flavor to the fajita mixture.
    • Fajita seasoning: I use a store-bought fajita blend seasoning for this recipe, but you can also make your own. It adds sweet, smoky, and savory flavors to the chicken and vegetables.
    • Peppers and onions: I love the mixture of colors of bell peppers for this recipe. It’s great for the presentation and adds varying sweetness and flavor to the recipe. I chose red, green, and yellow. White and yellow onions both work best because they aren’t as strong as red, and they have a subtle sweetness.
    • Chicken breasts: Boneless skinless chicken breasts are easiest to slice or shred. They become super juicy and flavorful in the slow cooker.

    For the wraps

    • Tortillas: I use flour tortillas because they are sturdier than corn tortillas. I like the large burrito size because they are perfect for wrapping.
    • Cheese: I like shredded cheddar cheese for this recipe, but a Mexican blend would work great as well.
    • Toppings: Sour cream and guacamole are great toppings for these fajita wraps. I love to finish them with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice as well.

    See the recipe card below for exact ingredient amounts, nutritional information, and detailed instructions.

    Variations

    • Honey sriracha: Add honey and sriracha sauce to the fajita mixture for a spicy sweet version.
    • Smoky Chipotle: Try some smoky chipotles with adobo sauce added along with the salsa for deep flavor and a hint of heat.
    • Salsa verde: Make this recipe with green salsa over red to add extra brightness and tanginess.

    How to Make Chicken Fajita Wraps

    Cooking and preparing a chicken fajita wrap is an easy process. The slow cooker will do the majority of the work, and then you will have a warm and tasty filling to add to your tortillas.

    Fajita seasoning and a jar of salsa added to the slow cooker.

    Step 1: Combine seasoning and salsa. Add the fajita seasoning and the entire jar of salsa to the bottom of the slow cooker and stir it well.

    Veggies added to the salsa mixture.

    Step 2: Stir in the veggies. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions and stir to coat them in the salsa mixture.

    The chicken breast added on top of the veggies.

    Step 3: Add the chicken breasts. Nestle the chicken breasts on top of the veggies. Spoon some of the salsa mixture on top of the chicken to ensure the pieces are mostly covered.

    The chicken breast shredded up in the slow cooker.

    Step 4: Cook and shred. Pop the lid on the crockpot and cook the chicken fajitas on high for 2-3 hours or low for 5-6 hours. Once it’s done, shred the chicken breasts with two forks and add the meat back to the pot.

    Assembling the wrap and folding on a cutting board.

    Step 5: Assemble the wraps. Add the filling to the center of the tortilla and sprinkle cheese on top, along with any other toppings you want. Fold over one side to cover the filling and then fold in the ends. Continue to roll the tortilla until it resembles a burrito.

    Step 6: Garnish and serve. Slice it in half and serve warm with sour cream, cilantro, and lime wedges.

    Recipe Tips

    • Don’t slice the veggies too thin: The veggies should be a little on the thicker side so they don’t become mushy. Don’t worry, they will still be perfectly tender!
    • Marinate the chicken for more flavor: One of my favorite ways to infuse more flavor is to marinate the chicken in fajita seasoning and salsa for a few hours before transferring it to the slow cooker with the onions and peppers. It comes out so delicious!
    • Heat the tortillas: Warming up the tortillas slightly can help make them easier to wrap. You can do this in a skillet for 1-2 minutes or in the microwave for a few seconds.

    Storage Directions

    • Storing: Prepared fajita wraps don't store well. I suggest storing the filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can keep any leftover wraps in the refrigerator 24 hours though they may get a bit soggy during sitting. You may freeze the fajita filling in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
    • Reheating: Reheat the assembled wraps in the microwave, wrapped in a paper towel for 2-3 minutes. To reheat the filling, use a saucepan over low heat for best results.

    Serving Suggestions

    • Rice is always a fabulous side dish with this fajita burrito recipe. Simple white rice, Mexican rice, or this red rice work so well with the flavors.
    • Try a lovely scoop of the best guacamole right in the chicken fajita wrap or on the side.
    • I love to dip my wrap in warm queso like this flavorful salsa con queso.
    • More great toppings are a fresh homemade tomato salsa and this jalapeno hot sauce for a kick.

    Recipe FAQs

    Can I make this in the Instant Pot?

    Absolutely! Layer all of the ingredients into the Instant Pot and cook it on manual pressure for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and the veggies are soft.

    Can I make it in a skillet?

    Sure. Use a large skillet and cook the chicken over medium heat for 3-5 minutes per side or cooked through. Remove it from the pan and add the veggies, seasoning, and salsa. Cook them for 3-5 minutes before shredding the chicken and adding it back to the skillet. Stir and serve!

    Can I use chicken thighs?

    You can, but they take a little longer to cook in the slow cooker. Use a thermometer to ensure they are cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F before assembling and serving this chicken tortilla wrap recipe.

    Instructions

    • Place the chicken breasts into the crockpot and nestle them down into the peppers, onions, and sauce, spooning some over the chicken breasts.
    • Cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 3 hours or LOW for 6 hours.
    • Cut the chicken into cubes or use 2 forks to shred it. You can remove the chicken to do this also if it's easier.

    Notes

    • Store leftover chicken fajita filling in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Assembled chicken fajita wraps will stay fresh in the refrigerator for 24 hours before they become soggy.
    • Try making this fajita recipe using chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. They are a more flavorful cut but take a little longer to cook so keep an eye on them.
