Sheet Pan Fajitas
Bringing the easy dinner love to you today! Seriously, so easy. Cut, sprinkle, bake, eat. Done. Sheet Pan Fajitas are one of my FAVORITE meals. This is a homemade mixture of spices to sprinkle over which makes the veggies and chicken so tasty plus your house will smell amazing. I think the spice mixture is really what makes these above and beyond. Another bonus tip, fry up your tortillas to get them a little crispy. OMG. It’s easy.
Leah is a big fan of peppers. Major fan. And pickles, banana peppers, onions, broccoli, olives. But the girl can take or leave a chicken nugget. I’m not sure who this kid is, but she likes some odd things for a toddler. She definitely can put down some pizza though. She also asks to eat a plain tortilla almost every day. So this meal is right up her alley. Of course next week she may decide she hates all peppers and tortillas. #toddlersareweird

Sheet Pan Fajitas
Lolo's Desserts | March 2020
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
1 orange bell pepper, cut into strips
1 red onion, cut into wedges
1 Tablespoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
Flour or corn tortillas, warmed or fried up
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
Cut the chicken into strips and set aside. Then cut the peppers in strips and onion into wedges. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, salt and pepper. Set aside.
Place chicken, bell peppers and onion in a single layer onto the oiled baking sheet. Generously sprinkle the spice mixture over the chicken and peppers. Use your hands and mix all together until all is covered.
Place into oven and bake for 25 minutes.
While chicken and peppers are cooking, prepare tortillas. Two ways I recommend are heating or frying. Warming: If you have a tortilla warmer, you already know what to do. If you don't, grab a bunch of paper towels and lightly wet them. Wrap around tortillas adn then heat in microwave for 1 minute on 50% power. Repeat if necessary.
Frying: In a saucepan, drizzle olive oil or vegetable oil in the pan and heat on medium-high heat. Once hot, place tortillas in the pan and heat for 1-3 minutes then flip and cook for another 1-3 minutes. Watch carefully so not to burn.
Once checken and peppers are done, remove from oven and set aside. Prepare fajitas by adding your favorite toppings (salsa, guac, sour cream, cheese, whatever you like)
