Easy and colorful Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas with juicy chicken, sweet peppers, and onions roasted together for a quick weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
  • 3 bell peppers (mix of red, yellow, green), sliced into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 large red onion, sliced into 1/2-inch strips
  • 2–3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lime (zest and juice), plus extra lime wedges for serving
  • Warm tortillas (8 small flour or corn)
  • Toppings (choose your favorites): chopped cilantro, salsa, sour cream or Greek yogurt, avocado or guacamole, shredded cheese, jalapeños
  • Homemade fajita seasoning:
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (or sweet paprika)
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt (plus more to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Pinch cayenne or red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed sheet pan with foil or parchment. For extra char, place the empty pan in the oven to preheat.
  2. Mix the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne (if using) in a large bowl. Stir in olive oil, minced garlic, lime zest, and lime juice.
  3. Add the chicken strips to the bowl and toss to coat. Add the sliced peppers and onion and toss again until everything is well coated.
  4. Carefully remove the hot sheet pan (if preheated). Spread the chicken and veggies in a single layer. Do not crowd; use two pans if needed.
  5. Warm the tortillas. Wrap them in foil and place on a lower rack during the last 5–8 minutes of roasting, or warm in a dry skillet.
  6. Roast for 18–22 minutes, stirring once halfway, until the chicken is cooked through (165°F/74°C) and the edges of the veggies start to char. For more char, broil 2–3 minutes at the end.
  7. Taste and add a pinch more salt or a squeeze of lime. Serve hot with warm tortillas and your favorite toppings.

Notes

For added flavor, use preheated pans for extra sizzle and char. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
