In the same skillet, add more oil if needed.
Add mixed bell pepper and onion. Cook for 5 minutes or until tender.
Sprinkle garlic powder and salt to taste.

For the sauce: In a bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, 1-2 tsp prepared fajita seasoning, lemon juice, and water. Mix until smooth.
Adjust seasoning and consistency as needed by adding more or less water.

Take a tortilla wrap. Add cooked chicken, vegetables, and a spoonful of creamy fajita sauce. Sprinkle mixed cheese blend.
Fold the bottom half of the tortilla up, then fold the sides and roll into a tight wrap.Place the wrapped fajita seam-side down on a warm skillet.Cook for 2-3 minutes per side on low heat. Drizzle with oil.
