Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts into 1/2-inch thick strips (slice extra wide strips in half)
- 3 Bell Peppers (I used red, green and yellow bell peppers), cored and sliced into strips
- 1 medium yellow onion halved and sliced from top to root
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 fresh limes juiced
- 3 Tbsp chopped cilantro
- 12-15 small flour tortillas
- Fajita Toppings: sour cream, pico, shredded cheese, etc.

- 1 Tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray a large sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray or cover with foil.
- Place chicken strips in a large bowl. Top with the seasonings. Toss to coat the chicken with the seasoning.
- Spread the chicken onto the sheet pan.
- Spread bell peppers and yellow onion onto the baking sheet.
- Drizzle olive oil over top. Toss everything to evenly coat. Spread into an even layer working to keep chicken from overlapping.
- Bake for 18-25 minutes, tossing once halfway through cooking time until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender.
- Wrap tortillas tightly in foil and warm in the oven during the last 5 minutes of the cooking time.
- Drizzle lime juice evenly over top and top with the chopped cilantro.
- Serve over the flour tortillas with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Notes
Make sure to slice the chicken against the grain to make sure that it’s tender and not tough when cooking.
Refrigerate the leftover chicken and peppers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
