Ingredients

Protein & Vegetables:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, and green), sliced
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Spices:

  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ancho chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp ground coriander
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Other Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Flour tortillas for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat & Prepare:
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). No need for a mixing bowl—simply place the sliced chicken, bell peppers, onion, and garlic on a large rimmed baking sheet.
  • Season & Toss:
    In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, ancho chili powder, cumin, paprika, coriander, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over the chicken and vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil and toss everything together until well coated.
  • Bake:
    Spread the mixture evenly on the sheet pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked and the veggies are tender.
  • Add Freshness:
    Squeeze fresh lime juice over the fajita mixture and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
  • Serve & Enjoy:
    Warm the tortillas and serve the chicken and veggies wrapped inside. Add your favorite toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or shredded cheese.

Notes

Customization Tips:

  • Swap the Veggies: While bell peppers and onions are traditional, feel free to add zucchini, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes for variety.
  • Adjust Spice Levels: Like it spicier? Add a pinch of cayenne or extra chili powder.
  • Make it Low-Carb: Skip the tortillas and serve with lettuce wraps or cauliflower rice.

Reheating Instructions:

For best results, reheat leftovers in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. This helps maintain the texture of the chicken and veggies. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the chicken rubbery and the vegetables mushy.
