Ingredients
1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced
3 bell peppers, sliced
1 large red onion, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon oregano
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt and black pepper to taste
Juice of 1 lime
8 small flour or corn tortillas
Fresh cilantro, chopped
1 avocado, sliced
Sour cream or Greek yogurt
Lime wedges
Jalapeño slices (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken, bell peppers, and onions. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.
3. In a small bowl, mix all the spices: chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle over the chicken and veggies and toss again.
4. Spread everything evenly onto a large sheet pan.
5. Roast in the oven for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chicken is cooked and veggies are charred.
6. Once cooked, squeeze lime juice over everything and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
7. Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave.
8. Assemble the fajitas with avocado, sour cream, and jalapeños. Serve with lime wedges.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasoning mix and lime juice for 30 minutes before baking.
Don’t overcrowd the pan — it helps achieve that delicious char.
Always warm the tortillas before serving for best texture and taste.
