Ingredients
  

Chicken Fajita Tray Bake

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 orange bell pepper
  • 1 yellow bell pepper
  • 1 small red onion
  • 3 tablespoon fajita seasoning (one packet)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 16 corn tortillas, for serving

Toppings

  • 1 sliced avocado
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro
  • 1 lime, sliced into wedges

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Slice the chicken, bell peppers and red onion into long strips about ½-inch wide.
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced chicken and vegetables with the fajita seasoning, salt, lime juice and olive oil.
  • Spread out the seasoned chicken and vegetables on the baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is 165°F.
  • Serve with corn tortillas, sliced avocado, cilantro and lime wedges. Enjoy!!

Notes

  • Seasoning: Fajita seasoning adds a spiced, smoky flavor to the chicken and vegetables. If you can't find or make fajita seasoning, you can substitute taco seasoning, which is similar but can sometimes be spicier.
  • Tortillas: Feel free to substitute flour tortillas or even lettuce wraps in place of corn tortillas. 
  • Spicy: To amp up the level of spiciness, add a few sliced jalapenos or hot sauce to the chicken and vegetables as you mix everything.
  • Double: This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled. Just grab more sheet pans to avoid crowding the pan as the chicken and veggies bake. 
  • Storing: Store leftover baked chicken and vegetables in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Garnishes: You can also serve your tacos with salsa, sour cream, refried beans, slaw, or guacamole.
