Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, crushed red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and black pepper.
  3. Add the sliced chicken breasts to the bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss to coat the chicken evenly with the spice mixture.
  4. Add the sliced red, green, and yellow bell peppers and the sliced onion to the bowl. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat all the vegetables evenly with the spices.
  5. Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly on a large rimmed sheet pan in a single layer.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
  7. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  8. Warm the flour tortillas in the oven wrapped in foil for 3 to 5 minutes or in a dry skillet over medium heat.
  9. Serve the chicken and vegetables on the warm tortillas, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side for squeezing over.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken in the spice mixture and olive oil for 15-30 minutes before adding the vegetables.
  • If you prefer spicier fajitas, add more crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Serve with your favorite fajita toppings like sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
