Ingredients

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced against the grain into ½-inch thick
3 bell peppers (1 green, 1 yellow, 1 red & sliced)
1 yellow onion (sliced)
3 tablespoons garlic (minced)
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons cilantro (chopped)
1 lime
12 small flour tortillas

Fajita Seasoning

1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon granulated sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400° and spray a sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Add fajita seasoning ingredients to a small bowl. Whisk until well combined and set aside.
Lay sliced bell peppers and onions on the sheet pan. Then, place the chicken on top of the vegetables and sprinkle the prepared seasoning over the top. Sprinkle the garlic and olive oil over everything.
Bake for 18-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°. Wrap the tortillas in foil and warm them in the oven for the last 5 minutes of cooking time.
Remove from oven and squeeze fresh lime juice over the top and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve in warmed tortillas with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For the juiciest chicken, slice evenly and bake until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Short on time? Prep the veggies and chicken a day ahead and store in the fridge until ready to cook.
Want a bolder flavor? Marinate the chicken in lime juice and seasoning for 30 minutes before baking.
Don’t skip the fresh lime and cilantro at the end—they brighten up the dish and tie all the flavors together.
