Fajitas!
I mean the name itself sounds like a celebration. Hands down one of my favorite Mexican dishes, I’d eat everyday if I could!
I love a sizzling hot cast iron full of delicious peppers, onions, and chicken, but don’t always have the time to make said masterpiece. SO, I created this recipe for weeknights and it does not disappoint! You really can’t beat one sheet pan meals that let you sit down instead of standing over a hot stove. The prep work is simple and the spice blend has the perfect amount of yum.
Doesn’t’ that look delicious?!
This recipe would work well with shrimp too, and hey feel free to add more vegetables if you want. A quick tip I like to do is make a order at my closest Mexican restaurant for a side of rice and beans. Pick it up on my way home then boom, you have sides already and just need to pop the main course in the oven!
Ok, let’s get started!
One Sheet Pan Chicken FAJITAS!
Equipment
- Sheet pan
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces
- 1 large red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 1 large yellow bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 1 orange bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 1 large white or yellow onion, sliced thin
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp. chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp oregano
- 2 tsp tajin seasoning
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 package of fajita sized flour tortillas
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- beans and rice for sides. optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°
- In mixing bowl add the chopped chicken and the sliced onion/bell peppers
- Next add all the seasonings and oil. Mix well so that all is coated
- Pour onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Cook for 30 minutes. At the last 10 minutes of cooking I like to put the tortillas in aluminum foil, fold up and toss on the baking rack. This lets them heat up and will be ready the same time!
- I like to serve on the sheet with lime wedges. Let everyone grab a plate and assemble.
- ENJOY!
