Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
- 3 bell peppers, thinly sliced (mix of colors makes it pretty!)
- 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 small flour tortillas
- Fresh lime wedges, sour cream, avocado, or cilantro for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Take a sip of something – you’ve earned it.
- Toss the chicken, peppers, and onion with olive oil and all the spices right on the sheet pan. Yes, right there – no need to dirty another bowl.
- Spread everything out into a single layer. If it’s crowded, use two pans – no one likes steamed fajitas.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Chicken should be golden and cooked through, veggies lightly charred.
- Warm tortillas however you like – microwave, stovetop, or toss them in the oven for a minute.
- Build your fajitas: chicken, peppers, a squeeze of lime, and whatever toppings your heart desires.
- Eat immediately. Try not to burn your tongue in excitement.
