Ingredients
Scale
Proteins
- 1 lb chicken breast (can use chicken thighs for extra juiciness)
Vegetables
- 2 cups bell peppers (red/green) (zucchini or mushrooms can be alternatives)
- 1 medium onion (yellow/red) (shallots can be a milder option)
Seasonings and Oils
- 2 tbsp olive oil (or coconut oil for a unique taste)
- 2 tbsp fajita seasoning (taco seasoning works as a substitute)
- 1 tsp garlic powder (fresh minced garlic adds robust flavor)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
For Serving
- Warm tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat Oven. Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting.
- Prepare Ingredients. Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. Cut the bell peppers and onion into similarly sized strips for even cooking.
- Season and Toss. Place the chicken, bell peppers, and onion strips on a large sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle the fajita seasoning and garlic powder over the mixture. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
- Initial Roast. Spread the mixture out in a single layer on the sheet pan. Roast in the oven for about 10 minutes.
- Stir and Continue Roasting. After 10 minutes, stir and flip the ingredients to ensure even cooking. Roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the vegetables are tender.
- Warm Tortillas. While the fajita mixture finishes roasting, warm tortillas over a low flame on a stovetop or in the microwave for 20-30 seconds until soft and pliable.
- Assemble Wraps. Remove the roasted chicken and veggies from the oven and let them rest briefly. Spoon the mixture into warm tortillas, adding your favorite toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, or salsa if desired.
