Sheet Pan Fajitas
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts sliced against the grain into ½-inch thick strips
- 3 bell peppers I used red, yellow and orange, thinly sliced
- 1 large yellow onion thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- juice of half a lime
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
For Serving
- 12 small flour tortillas warmed
- optional toppings: guacamole or avocado, sour cream, pico de gallo or salsa
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425° F.
- Combine fajita seasonings in a small bowl. Whisk or stir until mixed well.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the sliced chicken, bell peppers and onions on the baking sheet.
- Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the fajita seasonings. Toss to evenly coat the chicken and vegetables with the seasonings. Then spread everything out in an even layer on the baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes total, or until the chicken is cooked through. Stir/toss the chicken and veggies after the first 10 minutes in the oven and then spread them back out in an even layer and continue baking.
