One Pan Oven Fajitas

 This is one of the easiest ways to make fajitas and it tastes delicious too! After cutting up the chicken and veggies, this recipe takes about 20 minutes to bake/broil. Super simple!

1 pound boneless, skinless, chicken breasts, cut into thin strips

2 large bell peppers (colored ones make it pretty: red, green, orange, yellow), cut into thin strips

1 large sweet onion, cut in half and then into slices, then cut in half again (2-3 cups(

2 Tbsp olive oil

2 Tbsp Mexican seasoning of choice (or use recipe below*)

3/4 tsp salt (if seasoning has salt, omit this)

1/4 tsp black pepper

Juice of a half lime (1 Tbsp) + lime wedges for serving

 8 fajita size tortillas (corn or flour), warmed

 

Toppings for serving:

sour cream, avocado or guacamole, pico de gallo or salsa, cheese, cilantro

 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a large rimmed baking sheet (use metal, not stoneware) with cooking spray. Set aside.

 

Cut up chicken, and veggies and place into a large bowl. Add oil and spice mixture and combine until everything is well-coated.

 

Spread chicken and veggies in an even single layer on the prepared baking sheet, taking care not to crowd the  veggies and chicken. 

Roast in the oven (prefer middle rack) for 15 minutes, stirring at least one time. The pan will have juice/water, but this should evaporate. Turn the broiler on high and broil for 3-5 minutes or until veggies begin turning brown in spots and everything is cooked thoroughly.

Take pan out of the oven and sprinkle lime juice on top of everything, stirring to mix.

Serve in warm tortillas with desired toppings. 

Makes 4 generous servings (2 fajitas each). We double this for hungry eaters and spread it into two pans, switching the pans around to evening cook them and broil them. Serve with refried beans and rice, if desired.
