Ingredients
For the Fajitas:
- 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into strips (3 large breasts)
- 3 large sweet bell peppers cored, seeded, and cut into strips
- 1 medium white onion cut into strips
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
For the Fajita Seasoning:
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
For Serving:
- 8-10 small whole wheat or white flour tortillas
- Lime and cilantro
- Avocado slices or guacamole
- Salsa, Greek yogurt or sour cream, cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line 2 large baking sheets with unbleached parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Whisk well.
- Place chicken, bell peppers and onion on a baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with fajita seasoning. Using tongs or your hands, toss to coat evenly and then spread in a single layer on 2 baking sheets, so meat and veggies have a greater chance to roast.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should be 165 F) or to your liking.
- Remove from the oven, drizzle with lime juice and sprinkle with cilantro. Warm up tortillas in a microwave.
- Serve chicken fajitas hot in tortillas with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Sodium note: Most of sodium comes from flour tortillas. You can try to find lower in sodium ones.
- Store: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To reheat, throw on a non-stick skillet and pan fry until warmed through. It will give fajitas an extra char and refresh them.
- Different baking sheet: Dark colored baking pan might cook fajitas faster.
- Ovens vary: If you have convection oven by default, it will cook fajitas faster as well.
