Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Spread red bell peppers and onion in the baking dish. (2 minutes)

03

Step
10 mins

Coat chicken strips with a few pinches of the fajita seasoning mix. Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir seasoned chicken until browned, about 2 minutes per side. (10 minutes)

04

Step
3 mins

Place chicken in the baking dish with bell peppers and onion; top with remaining fajita seasoning mix and vegetable oil. Stir until chicken and vegetables are evenly coated. (3 minutes)

05

Step
30 mins

Bake in the preheated oven, stirring halfway through baking, until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes. (30 minutes)

06

Step
5 mins

Spoon chicken mixture into each tortilla and top with sour cream, salsa, and cilantro. (5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try marinating the chicken in lime juice and garlic for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Feel free to add other vegetables like green bell peppers or poblano peppers.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a softer texture.

    So easy to customize with different toppings. We used guacamole and shredded cheese.

  • Marvin Crona

    Be careful not to overcook the chicken, or it will be dry.

  • Orville Reichel

    Next time, I'm going to try adding some jalapeños for a little heat.

    I used chicken thighs instead of breasts, and it was even more flavorful.
