Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
- 2 bell peppers (1 red, 1 yellow), sliced into strips
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced into half-moons
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 2 tbsp homemade fajita seasoning (chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp sea salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 8 small flour tortillas or corn tortillas
- 1 lime, juiced
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
- Sour cream, guacamole, and salsa for serving
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine chicken strips, 2 tbsp olive oil, fajita seasoning, smoked paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Toss until chicken is evenly coated.
- 3
Add bell peppers and onion to the bowl. Drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and toss until well combined.
- 4
Spread the mixture onto the prepared sheet pan in a single layer — don't overcrowd! Use two pans if necessary.
- 5
Roast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and stir the chicken and vegetables with a spatula.
- 6
Return to oven and roast another 8-10 minutes until chicken is cooked through (165°F internal) and vegetables have caramelized edges.
- 7
During the last 2 minutes, add tortillas directly to the oven rack to warm them through.
- 8
Remove from oven. Squeeze fresh lime juice over everything. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
- 9
Serve family-style with warm tortillas, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa on the side.
Pro Tips
💡
Slice chicken and vegetables uniformly so everything cooks at the same rate.
💡
Toss the vegetables in the pan juices halfway through roasting for even caramelization.
💡
Char the tortillas directly over a gas flame for 30 seconds per side for authentic smoky flavor.
