Servings: 6
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 chicken breasts boneless skinless, cut into thin strips
- 3 bell peppers mixed colors, cored and sliced
- 1 yellow onion large, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning see homemade blend below or store‑bought
- 6-8 flour tortillas small, warmed
- 1 lime cut into wedges (plus more for serving)
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped (plus more for serving)
- 1 cup Guacamole for serving
- 1 cup pico de gallo for serving
Homemade Fajita Seasoning (sub for store‑bought)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano optional
- ¼ teaspoon Cayenne pepper optional
- ½ teaspoon sugar optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and lightly oil a large rimmed sheet pan. Pat the chicken dry and slice against the grain. Slice the peppers and onion into similar thickness for even cooking.
- Add the chicken, peppers, and onion to the pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the fajita seasoning. Toss to coat, then spread into a roomy single layer.
- Bake on the top rack for 20 to 25 minutes until the chicken is opaque and the vegetables are tender with caramelized edges. For more char, broil for 1 to 2 minutes at the end.
- Wrap the tortillas in foil and warm them in the oven during the last few minutes. Squeeze fresh lime over the fajitas, sprinkle with cilantro, and serve hot with guacamole and pico de gallo.
Notes
If using thighs, slice into strips; they may need more time. For best browning, use a large pan and spread everything out.
