Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips

2 bell peppers (any color), sliced (e.g., red, green, yellow)

1 large red onion, sliced

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

Juice of 1 lime

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Tortillas (for serving)

Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, salsa

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced chicken, bell peppers, and onion.

      Make the Marinade: In a separate small bowl, whisk together olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Squeeze in the lime juice and mix well.

        Combine Everything: Pour the marinade over the chicken and vegetables. Toss everything together until evenly coated.

          Arrange on Sheet Pan: Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture in a single layer on a large sheet pan, ensuring there’s some space between the pieces to promote even cooking.

            Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, stirring halfway through for even roasting.

              Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Serve hot with warmed tortillas and your choice of toppings. Garnish with chopped cilantro for freshness.

                Enjoy: Gather the family around the table and enjoy creating your own fajitas!
