Equipment

  • sheet pan
  • Non-stick cooking spray
  • Small Bowl
  • Foil
  • Meat thermometer

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts sliced (against the grain) into 1/2-inch thick strips
  • 3 bell peppers green, yellow and red, cored and sliced into strips
  • 1 yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 Tablespoons oil vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 8-10 small flour tortillas

Fajita Seasoning

  • 1 Tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Optional Toppings

  • Sour cream
  • sliced avocado or guacamole
  • pico de gallo
  • shredded cheese

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Grease a large sheet pan. Slice chicken and vegetables into strips, then arrange vegetables on the pan with chicken on top.

Cooking

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Mix all seasoning ingredients in a small bowl. Sprinkle most of the seasoning and minced garlic over the chicken and vegetables, then drizzle with oil. Toss thoroughly to coat everything and spread into an even layer on the pan.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). During the last 5 minutes, warm the tortillas by wrapping them in foil and placing them in the oven.

Serving

  • Remove from oven, squeeze fresh lime juice over the fajitas, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve immediately in warm tortillas with your preferred toppings.

Notes

For an extra kick, increase the amount of cayenne pepper or add a dash of hot sauce before serving. Make sure not to overcrowd the sheet pan to ensure the chicken and vegetables cook evenly and get a nice char.
