- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch strips
- 3 bell peppers (any color), cored and sliced into 1/4-inch strips
- 1 large red onion, halved and sliced into 1/4-inch strips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 small flour tortillas, warmed
- Optional toppings: fresh cilantro, lime wedges, salsa, sour cream, guacamole
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken strips, bell peppers, and red onion.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and vegetables. Toss to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle the fajita seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the mixture. Toss again until everything is well coated.
- Spread the chicken and vegetables in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two pans if necessary for even cooking.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp. You can stir halfway through cooking if you like.
- Remove from the oven. Serve immediately with warm tortillas and your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to your seasoning.
- If you prefer a little char on your vegetables, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
