Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

For the Tex-Mex version, slice two peppers (a red bell pepper and a poblano pepper) into strips and then slice them in half.

Slice a medium white or sweet onion into strips.

Add the sliced peppers and onion to a sheet pan and toss them together, unraveling the layers of the onion.

For the Mediterranean version, add 20 ounces of cherry or grape tomatoes to a separate sheet pan.

Set both sheet pans aside.

Trim excess fat and connective tissue from 5 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breast, then cut the chicken into thin strips, about 2 inches in length.

Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil over each sheet pan with veggies.

For seasoning, add 2 tablespoons of chicken fajita seasoning to the Tex-Mex pan and 1 tablespoon of Cavender's Greek seasoning to the Mediterranean pan, mixing well to coat the veggies.

Bake both sheet pans in the oven for 20-25 minutes, ensuring the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the veggies are nicely roasted.

Transfer the cooked chicken and veggies to a bowl using tongs or a strainer, saving the juices for later use as a soup base.

Crumble feta cheese for the Mediterranean wraps and prepare Pati hot cheese for the Tex-Mex wraps.

Prepare Mission carb balance flour tortillas or counter protein tortillas for wrapping.

Assemble the wraps by placing the chicken and veggies on the tortillas, rolling them like a chicken wrap (open on both ends) and slicing them in half.

Optionally, tuck the ends for a burrito-style wrap for portability.

Place the assembled wraps on a sheet pan and bake or grill them until crispy.

Slice the wraps in half and serve with dips.
