Instructions

1
|
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2
|
Line an extra-large baking sheet with parchment paper.
3
|
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, coriander, garlic powder and dried oregano.
4
|
Remove the seeds from the bell peppers and slice into strips 1/2 inch thick. Slice the onion into 1/4 inch-thick crescents. Transfer the peppers and onion to a large mixing bowl.
5
|
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the spiced oil over the vegetables. Sprinkle with the salt and black pepper and toss to coat.
6
|
Arrange the peppers and onions in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast the vegetables on middle rack of oven for 10 minutes. While the vegetables roast, prepare the chicken.
7
|
Cut the chicken into strips roughly 3/4 inch wide. Transfer to the large mixing bowl used for the vegetables.
8
|
Season the chicken with the salt and black pepper. Drizzle the remaining spiced oil over the chicken and toss until it is evenly coated.
9
|
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Arrange the sliced chicken on the baking sheet. The chicken may cover some of the vegetables.
10
|
Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue baking until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, 17-20 minutes.
11
|
Check to see that fajitas are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
12
|
Squeeze the juice from half a lime over the chicken. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve fajitas with corn tortillas, salsa, sour cream, avocado, and shredded cheese, if desired.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Sheet Pan Perfection 🔥
    Line your sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking, ensuring perfectly roasted vegetables and chicken every time.
  • Marinade Magic 🌶️
    Create a quick marinade using the spices (cumin, chili powder, garlic powder) mixed with olive oil to coat the chicken thighs for maximum flavor penetration.
  • Veggie Cutting Technique 🔪
    Cut bell peppers and onions into similar-sized strips to ensure even cooking and consistent texture across the sheet pan.
  • Tortilla Warming Hack 🌯
    Wrap corn tortillas in foil and warm them in the oven during the last 5 minutes of cooking for soft, pliable fajita shells.
  • Citrus Brightness Boost 🍋
    Squeeze fresh lime juice over the finished fajitas just before serving to add a bright, fresh flavor that cuts through the richness of the chicken and cheese.
