  • 3 bell peppers (green, yellow, red), cored and sliced into strips
  • 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 810 small flour tortillas
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, shredded cheese

For the Fajita Seasoning:

  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the Pan: Lightly grease a large sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Slice Ingredients: Cut the chicken and vegetables into strips.
  3. Arrange on Pan: Lay the vegetables evenly on the pan and place the chicken on top.
  4. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  5. Make Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine all the seasoning ingredients. Mix well.
  6. Season: Sprinkle most of the seasoning over the chicken and some over the vegetables. Add the minced garlic on top of the chicken. Drizzle oil over the entire pan. Toss everything to coat evenly and spread into a single layer.
  7. Bake: Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  8. Warm Tortillas: Wrap the tortillas in foil and place them in the oven during the last 5 minutes of cooking to warm.
  9. Finish: Remove the pan from the oven. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the chicken and veggies, and sprinkle with cilantro.
  10. Serve: Serve in warm tortillas with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Make-Ahead: Slice the chicken and veggies ahead of time and store them separately in the fridge. The seasoning can be made days in advance.
  • Freezer Meal: Freeze seasoned raw chicken and veggies in a ziplock bag for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight before baking.
  • Vegetarian Option: Replace chicken with black beans, sweet potatoes, or mushrooms.
  • Crockpot Version: Layer diced tomatoes, chicken, veggies, and seasoning in a crockpot. Cook on high for 2 hours or low for 3-4 hours.
