Ingredients
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 bell peppers sliced
1 medium onion sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
8 small flour tortillas
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil if desired.
2. Slice the chicken into thin strips and cut the bell peppers and onion into similar sized strips.
3. Place the chicken, peppers, and onion on the sheet pan or in a large bowl.
4. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
5. Toss everything well until evenly coated, then spread into a single layer on the pan.
6. Roast for 18 to 22 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender with browned edges.
7. Squeeze the fresh lime juice over the hot fajita mixture and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
8. Warm the tortillas and fill them with the chicken and vegetables before serving.
Notes
Cut the chicken and vegetables into even strips so they roast at the same rate.
Do not overcrowd the pan or the ingredients will steam instead of roast.
Add avocado, sour cream, salsa, or shredded cheese just before serving for extra flavor.
