Ingredients

1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, thinly sliced

2 bell peppers (1 red, 1 yellow or orange), thinly sliced

1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced (from Monday)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2 cloves garlic, minced (from Monday)

1 teaspoon dried cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

½ teaspoon dried oregano (from Monday)

¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

12-16 small flour or corn tortillas, warmed

Optional toppings: salsa, guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese, fresh cilantro, lime wedges

Instructions

Marinate Chicken and Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the sliced chicken, bell peppers, and onion. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour the marinade over the chicken and vegetables and toss to coat everything evenly.

Roast Fajitas: Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, flipping halfway through.     

Warm Tortillas: While the chicken fajitas are roasting, warm the tortillas according to package instructions.

Serve: Transfer the sizzling one-pan chicken fajita mixture to a serving platter. Serve immediately with warm tortillas and your favorite toppings. Garnish with chopped fresh basil if you have any leftover from Monday.
