⏱️ Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 25 minutes
🍽️ Servings: 4–6
Ingredients:
For the Fajitas:
1 ½ lbs (680g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green), sliced into strips
1 large red onion, sliced
3 tbsp olive oil
Juice of 1 lime
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Salt & black pepper, to taste
For Serving:
Warm flour or corn tortillas
Fresh cilantro, chopped
Sour cream or Greek yogurt
Guacamole or sliced avocado
Salsa or pico de gallo
Shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend)
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven:
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
2. Season the chicken & veggies:
In a large bowl, combine sliced chicken, bell peppers, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil and lime juice. Sprinkle in chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and crushed red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper. Toss well until everything is evenly coated.
3. Arrange on the sheet pan:
Spread the chicken and veggies in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Make sure they aren’t overlapping too much — this helps them roast beautifully.
4. Roast to perfection:
Bake for 20–25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked (165°F / 74°C) and the vegetables are tender with a slight char.
5. Warm tortillas & serve:
While the fajitas roast, warm your tortillas in a skillet or directly over a gas flame for that authentic char.
6. Build your fajitas:
Serve the roasted chicken and veggies straight from the sheet pan with tortillas and toppings like guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, and sour cream. 🌮✨
Tips & Variations:
✅ Swap chicken for steak, shrimp, or tofu for a fun twist.
✅ Add mushrooms or zucchini for even more veggies.
✅ Double the batch for meal prep — these fajitas reheat wonderfully!
✅ For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasoning mix and lime juice for 30 minutes before roasting.
