These easy Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas are a simple hands-off way to get that smoky-sweet flavor of traditional griddle fajitas.
Ingredients
Fajita Seasoning:
- 1 Tbsp chili powder
- 1/2 Tbsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
Fajitas:
- 2 small yellow onions (or one large)
- 3 bell peppers, any color
- 1 lb. chicken breast
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil
- 1 lime
- 8 6-inch tortillas
- 1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
- 1/4 bunch cilantro (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Mix all of the spices for the fajita seasoning in a small bowl and set aside.
2. Cut the onion and bell peppers into 1/4-inch wide strips. Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. Add the chicken and vegetables to a large baking sheet or casserole dish.
3. Drizzle the cooking oil over the chicken and vegetables, then sprinkle the fajita seasoning mix over top. Use your hands to toss the ingredients until everything is well coated. Spread evenly on the baking sheet.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
5. Squeeze the juice from half of the lime over the meat and vegetables after baking.
6. To serve, scoop meat and vegetables into tortillas. Top with cilantro, sour cream, and an extra squeeze of lime if desired.
