    The marinated chicken in these popular wraps is mouthwatering. They go together in a snap and always get raves! —Julie Sterchi, Jackson, Missouri *Test Kitchen Approved

    Ingredients:
    • 4 tablespoons canola oil, divided
    • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
    • 1-1/2 teaspoons 25% less sodium seasoned salt (Lawry's)
    • 1-1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
    • 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
    • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
    • 1-1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips
    • 1/2 medium sweet red pepper, julienned
    • 1/2 medium green pepper, julienned
    • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
    • 1/2 cup chopped onion
    • 6 flour tortillas (8 inches), warmed
    • Shredded cheddar cheese, taco sauce, salsa, guacamole and sour cream

    Directions:
    1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 2 tablespoons oil, lemon juice and seasonings; add the chicken. Seal and turn to coat; refrigerate for 1-4 hours.

    2. In a large skillet, saute peppers and onions in remaining oil until crisp-tender. Remove and keep warm.

    3. Discard marinade. In the same skillet, cook chicken over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes or until no longer pink. Return pepper mixture to pan; heat through.

    4. Spoon filling down the center of tortillas; fold in half. Serve with cheese, taco sauce, salsa, guacamole and sour cream.
