Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into strips)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 lime (juiced)
- 1 bell pepper (any color, sliced)
- 1 red onion (sliced)
- 2 small zucchinis (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 8 small flour tortillas (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high heat will help the chicken and vegetables get that perfect caramelized finish.
- Marinate the Chicken: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, cumin, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and lime juice. Pour this mixture over the chicken strips in a large bowl, and toss until the chicken is evenly coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes if you have the time. This step is key for infusing the chicken with all those delicious flavors!
- Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken is marinating, slice your bell pepper, onion, and zucchini into thin strips. The thinner you slice them, the more evenly they’ll cook and caramelize in the oven.
- Toss the Vegetables: On a large sheet pan, arrange your vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss them gently with your hands or a spoon to coat evenly.
- Add the Chicken to the Sheet Pan: After the chicken has marinated, add the chicken strips to the sheet pan with the veggies. Spread everything out in an even layer to ensure that it all cooks evenly. Don’t overcrowd the pan, or the chicken and veggies won’t roast properly.
- Roast: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred. Halfway through the cooking time, give everything a quick toss with a spatula to ensure even roasting.
- Assemble the Fajitas: Once everything is done, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Warm your tortillas in the microwave or on the stovetop, then fill each tortilla with the roasted chicken and veggies.
- Garnish and Serve: Top with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
