Tools:

Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, water, salt, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and paprika until well combined. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
- In a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced peppers and onion to the skillet and sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes season with salt and pepper to taste and transfer to a plate.
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced chicken until browned and cooked through about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked peppers and onion to the chicken in the skillet and stir until well combined.
- Pour a small amount of the crepe batter into the skillet and swirl to cover the bottom of the skillet. Cook until the crepe is set and lightly browned on the bottom, about 1-2 minutes. Use a spatula to flip the crepe and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Place a small amount of the chicken and pepper mixture onto the crepe and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Fold the crepe into a burrito-style wrap.
- Repeat the process with the remaining crepe batter and chicken and pepper mixture, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
