Ingredients
Scale
For the Fajitas:
- 2 lbs chicken breasts, sliced into ¼-inch strips
- 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, and green), sliced
- 2 large onions, sliced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 limes, juiced
- 16–18 small flour or corn tortillas
For the Fajita Seasoning:
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Optional Toppings:
- Fresh cilantro
- Sour cream
- Guacamole
- Pico de gallo
- Shredded cheese
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Slice the chicken into thin strips and cut the peppers and onions into uniform slices.
- Prepare the seasoning by mixing all spices in a small bowl.
- Combine ingredients: Place the chicken, bell peppers, and onions on the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and lime juice, then sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly.
- Toss everything well to coat evenly, spreading it into a single layer.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Optional: Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for a lightly charred finish.
- Serve immediately with warmed tortillas and your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For extra flavor, let the chicken marinate in the seasoning and lime juice for 30 minutes before baking.
- For a low-carb option, skip the tortillas and serve over cauliflower rice or lettuce wraps.
- Meal Prep Tip: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days and reheat in a skillet or oven.
