Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon fine salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper or lemon pepper
  • 1 to 1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips
  • 3 bell peppers (orange, yellow, and/or red), cut into strips
  • 1 medium-large sweet yellow onion (like a vidalia onion), sliced into strips
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 12-16 small flour tortillas (5- to 6-inches) or corn tortillas
  • optional for serving: guacamole or mashed avocado, fresh cilantro, lime wedges, sour cream


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425℉, placing an extra-large sheet pan on the middle rack to heat without parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a large bowl, combine chicken, bell peppers, and onion strips. Drizzle with avocado oil and sprinkle with the spice mixture, tossing until everything is coated.
  4. Carefully remove the hot sheet pan and mist it with nonstick spray.
  5. Spread the seasoned chicken and vegetables in an even layer on the hot sheet pan. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes until the chicken is cooked and vegetables are tender.
  6. Wrap tortillas in foil and add them to the oven to warm in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  7. Serve the chicken and veggies in tortillas, adding optional toppings like guacamole, cilantro, lime wedges, or sour cream.
  8. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken for a few hours before baking.
Feel free to mix and match your choice of bell peppers or add other vegetables like zucchini or corn.
These fajitas can also be served over rice or salad for a different twist.
