Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a kick)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8-12 small flour tortillas (or corn for gluten-free)
  • Your favourite toppings: sour cream, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, lime wedges, etc.

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine all the fajita seasoning ingredients. Mix well.
  3. Slice the bell peppers and onion into strips.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the chicken strips with the olive oil, lime juice, and fajita seasoning. Ensure everything is evenly coated.
  5. Spread the sliced peppers and onions on the prepared baking sheet. Add the marinated chicken, spreading it out in a single layer.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
  7. While the fajitas are baking, warm the tortillas according to package directions (microwave, skillet, or oven).
  8. Serve the chicken and vegetable mixture in warm tortillas with your favourite toppings.
