Sheet-Pan Chicken Fajitas Recipe
Photo: Maura McEvoy
Serves 4
Ingredients
Eight 6-inch flour tortillas
2 bell peppers (any color), seeded and cut lengthwise into thick slices
1 small red or yellow onion, halved lengthwise and cut into thick slices
1/2 pint cherry tomatoes, halved if very large
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound total), cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
3 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. ground coriander
1/2 tsp. garlic powder, or 2 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and pepper
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
Large handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
Shredded sharp cheddar cheese, for serving
Sliced avocado, for serving
Sour cream, for serving
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425°, with a rack in the middle position. Wrap the tortillas in foil and set aside. Put the peppers, onions and tomatoes on an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan (lined with parchment paper or foil for easier cleanup, if you like) and top with the chicken. Sprinkle with the oil, chili powder, cumin, coriander and garlic powder, then season generously with salt and pepper.
Using your hands, combine well, then spread the ingredients out across the pan. Bake until the chicken is just cooked through, about 20 minutes, tossing the ingredients halfway through. Put the foil-wrapped tortillas in the oven about 5 minutes before the chicken is done to warm them.
Remove the pan from the oven, sprinkle the chicken and vegetables with the lime juice and cilantro, then check the seasonings. Spoon the chicken mixture onto the warm tortillas and serve with the toppings.
