I'm excited to kick off today's tutorial on how to make super quick chicken fajitas. This recipe is all about showcasing the amazing flavors of the ancho chili. If you've never heard of ancho chili before, keep watching to discover a delicious twist on a classic Mexican dish.

Firstly, I'm going to plunge into the key ingredients needed for this recipe. You'll need boneless chicken breast, colorful bell peppers, red onion, garlic, ancho chili powder, cumin, paprika, lime, olive oil, tortilla wraps, refried beans, and salsa.

Now that we have everything ready, let's move on to the next step!

Preparing the Chicken and Vegetables

To start, slice the chicken breast into thin strips. This will ensure quick and even cooking. Similarly, slice the bell peppers and red onion into strips as well.

In a bowl, combine the ancho chili powder, cumin, paprika, minced garlic, lime juice, and olive oil. Add the sliced chicken and vegetables to the bowl and toss until well coated with the marinade.

Heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and vegetables to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are charred and tender.

While the chicken and vegetables are cooking, warm up the tortilla wraps in a separate pan or microwave according to the package instructions.

Assembling the Chicken Fajitas

Once the chicken and vegetables are cooked, it's time to assemble the fajitas. Take a tortilla wrap and spread a layer of refried beans on it. Top with a generous amount of the chicken and vegetable mixture.

Drizzle some salsa over the filling and fold the tortilla into a tight wrap. Repeat this process for the remaining tortilla wraps.

Serve the chicken fajitas immediately and enjoy the smoky flavors and juicy textures. These fajitas are perfect for a quick and easy dinner, packed with Mexican-inspired goodness.
