Boy, this is a great recipe to do over and over again with whatever strikes your fancy at the moment. In all truth, when I tested the recipe the final time, I skipped the chicken and instead made some of that Costco tortilla-crusted tilapia on another pan. Delish!

Serve Mexican rice, black beans or confetti corn on the side for a delicious weeknight trip south of the border.

Sizzling fajitas without standing over a hot pan? Yes, please! Skip the chicken if it's also meatless Monday, and serve with avocado slices, sour cream, and salsa no matter what.

Ingredients

Fajita Seasoning

2 tsp chili powder
1 tbsp paprika
2 tsp oregano
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Fajitas

1 large red onion cut into strips
3 bell peppers cut into strips
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into strips
3 tsp garlic, minced
3 tbsp olive oil
1 medium lime
12 6-in tortillas
½ cup sour cream optional
¼ bunch cilantro optional
2 avocados sliced, optional
1/2 cup salsa optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Mix all of the spices for the fajita seasoning in a small bowl and set aside.
Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place chicken, bell peppers, onion, and garlic in a single layer on the sheet and toss with the spice mix and olive oil.
Bake for 25 minutes or until the chicken is completely cooked through and the veggies are browned.
Place a scoop of the fajita mixture inside each of the warmed tortillas. Top with cilantro, sour cream, lime juice, avocado and/or lime juice, as desired.

Notes

I like to use a red, an orange and a yellow bell pepper for color, but go ahead and use whatever’s on sale.

VEGGIE LOVERS

Replace the chicken with more vegetables. I can’t believe I keep saying this, but this is another recipe where big slices of mushroom may be tasty. Otherwise, just do more peppers and onions.
Another alternative is to add rinsed and warmed black beans onto your tortilla before the roasted veggies.

GLUTEN-FREE

Use corn tortillas
Try this as a salad instead. Simply put all the ingredients besides the tortilla on a bed of spring greens. Top with a few crunched up corn tortilla chips for a little crunch.
