Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs (680g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced
  • 1 large orange bell pepper, seeded and sliced
  • 1 large white onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 packet (approximately 1.25 oz or 35g) fajita seasoning mix (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra kick)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 8 (6-inch) flour tortillas, warmed
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Sour cream
  • Guacamole
  • Salsa
  • Chopped cilantro
  • Lime wedges

Instructions:

  1. Slice the chicken breasts into strips. Slice the bell peppers and onion.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, bell peppers, and onion. Add olive oil, fajita seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
  3. Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Make sure things are not overcrowed.
  4. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp. Check the chicken for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  5. While the fajitas are roasting, warm the tortillas according to package directions (or in a dry skillet).
  6. Fill each tortilla with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Top with your favourite toppings and serve immediately.
