Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Vegetables

  • 1 lb chicken breast (can use chicken thighs for extra juiciness)
  • 2 cups bell peppers (red and green, sliced) (zucchini or mushrooms can be alternatives)
  • 1 medium onion (yellow or red, sliced) (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 (adjust according to preference)
  • Pepper to taste (adjust according to preference)

Additional

  • 4 large tortillas or wraps


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for roasting the ingredients evenly.
  2. Prepare Vegetables and Chicken: Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Cut the chicken breast into thin strips to allow quick and even cooking.
  3. Season Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chicken strips, sliced bell peppers, and onions. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle the fajita seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss everything thoroughly to ensure even coating.
  4. Arrange on Sheet Pan: Spread the seasoned chicken and vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding for best roasting results.
  5. Roast: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C) and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
  6. Warm Tortillas: During the last 5 minutes of roasting, wrap the tortillas in foil and place them in the oven to warm up.
  7. Assemble Wraps: Once cooked, remove the chicken and veggies from the oven. Spoon the fajita mixture onto the warm tortillas, then roll or fold to create wraps.
  8. Serve: Serve the wraps hot with optional toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or salsa, if desired.

Notes

  • Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts for extra juiciness and flavor.
  • Zucchini or mushrooms are excellent vegetable alternatives if you want variety in your fajitas.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper, depending on your preference.
  • For a low-carb option, use lettuce wraps instead of tortillas.
  • Fresh minced garlic can substitute garlic powder for more vibrant garlic flavor.
