Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 small red onion, sliced
3 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken)
¾ cup salsa
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon kosher salt (more to taste)
1 cup refried beans, fat-free (or see notes for homemade version)
½ cup shredded cheese (optional)
6 large tortillas (Flour or gluten-free tortillas will work. Avoid corn tortillas as they fall apart too easily)
Any toppings or dipping sauces of choice (salsa, guac, cilantro, jalapeño, sour cream)

Instructions

Heat a large saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Add the olive oil. When the pan is hot, add the bell pepper and red onion. Let the mixture cook for 3-4 minutes or until the veggies begin to soften.
Add the shredded chicken, salsa, cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt to the pan. Mix well and let the mixture continue to cook for 2-3 more minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the mixture to a bowl.
Heat the tortillas in the microwave for 15-20 seconds. Assemble the fajita wraps by spreading a few tbsp of refried beans down the middle of the tortilla. Add about 1 cup of fajita mixture on top of the refried beans. Sprinkle cheese on top if desired. Roll the tortilla up.
Place the pan back on the stove on medium heat. Add olive oil spray to the pan. Place the wrap seam side down on the hot pan. Let the wrap brown for about a minute each side. Repeat with the rest of the wraps.
Serve with any desired toppings or dipping sauces.

Notes

If you would like to make your own refried beans do the following: Add 1 can of black beans, 1 tbsp olive or avocado oil, salt + cumin + garlic powder + chili powder to taste, and a few tablespoons of water (to help the beans blend) to a blender or food processor. Simply blend until the beans are smooth!
