Instructions
  1. To prepare marinade, combine first 10 ingredients in a large bowl; set aside. To prepare fajitas, trim the fat from chicken. Combine 1½ cups marinade with chicken in a large zip-top plastic bag. Seal and marinate in refrigerator up to 4 hours or overnight, turning occasionally. Combine remaining marinade, bell peppers, and onion in a zip-top plastic bag. Seal and marinate in refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
  2. Prepare grill. Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade. Remove vegetables from bag; reserve marinade. Place reserved marinade in a small saucepan; set aside. Place chicken and vegetables on grill rack coated with cooking spray; cook 8 minutes on each side or until cooked throughout.
  3. Wrap tortillas tightly in foil; place tortilla packet on grill rack the last 2 minutes of grilling time. Bring reserved marinade to a boil. Place chicken and vegetables on a serving platter; drizzle with reserved marinade.
  4. Arrange about 1 ounce chicken, 3 bell pepper wedges, and 1 onion wedge in a tortilla; top with 1 tablespoon salsa, about 1 teaspoon sour cream, and ½ tablespoon cilantro. Fold sides of tortilla over filling. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, if desired. Serve immediately.
