Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Red bell pepper
- Yellow bell pepper
- Green bell pepper
- Yellow onion
- Red onion
- Fajita seasoning
- Olive oil
- Flour tortillas or corn tortillas
- Fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature helps to caramelize the vegetables and cook the chicken evenly.
- Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1/2 inch thick. This ensures they cook quickly and absorb the flavors well.
- Slice the bell peppers and onion into strips. Aim for uniform sizes for even cooking.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, bell peppers, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle the fajita seasoning over the top. Toss everything until well coated.
- Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly on a large sheet pan. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan, as this can cause steaming instead of roasting.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
- Halfway through cooking, give the mixture a gentle toss for even cooking. Once done, remove from the oven and squeeze fresh lime juice over the fajitas for an extra burst of flavor.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave, then fill them with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Top with your favorite toppings such as avocado, salsa, or cheese.
