Baked Chicken Fajitas
Ingredients
  • cooking spray
  • 2 red bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
  • 1 (1 ounce) package fajita seasoning mix, divided
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 8 (6 inch) flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup sour cream, or to taste
  • 1/2 cup salsa, or to taste
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
2
Spray a rectangular, 9x13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray to prevent food from sticking.
3
Spread sliced red bell peppers and onions evenly across the prepared baking dish.
4
Coat chicken strips with a small amount of the fajita seasoning blend, using just enough to coat them adequately.
5
Heat 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the seasoned chicken strips until they are nicely browned, taking about 2 minutes per side to achieve this.
6
Place the cooked chicken strips in the baking dish alongside the sliced bell peppers and onions; sprinkle the remaining fajita seasoning blend over them, along with any leftover vegetable oil.
7
Mix everything together until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated in the seasonings.
8
Bake the dish in the preheated oven, stirring halfway through the cooking process, until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, taking around 30 minutes to achieve this.
9
Spoon the chicken mixture into each tortilla and top with a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, and some chopped cilantro.
