Ingredients
  

  • 2.5 lbs chicken diced
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper sliced
  • 1 orange bell pepper sliced
  • 1 red onion sliced
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp Mexican chili powder
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp salt or more if your taste buds say so
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 bunch cilantro chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp sour cream for topping
  • 1 avocado diced (for topping)
  • 1 cup mozzarella shredded (for topping)
  • 1 lime juiced (for topping)
  • 12 tortillas of your choice

Instructions
 

  • Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This gives it time to get nice and hot before the veggies and chicken go in.
  • Grab a big mixing bowl and toss in the diced chicken, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Mexican chili powder, dried oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
  • Give it a good mix. Coat every piece. Think of this as a little food spa moment.
  • Now add the minced garlic, sliced peppers, and red onion. Mix again until everything is covered in that delicious spice blend.
  • Line your sheet pan with parchment paper (or give it a little grease). Spread the chicken and veggies into a single layer.
  • This helps them roast instead of steam, which means more flavor and those tasty browned edges we love.
  • Pop the pan in the oven and cook for 30–35 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and looks beautifully golden.
  • If your oven runs hot or cold (mine has a mind of its own some days), check a piece of chicken to make sure it’s done.
  • Warm your tortillas while the fajitas finish cooking. You can heat them in a pan, the oven, or even the microwave under a damp paper towel.
  • Warm tortillas make everything taste better — it’s just a fact.
  • Now the fun part! Spoon a generous amount of the chicken and veggie mixture onto a tortilla. Top with:
    A squeeze of lime, Avocado chunks, A dollop of sour cream, A sprinkle of mozzarella, A little cilantro
  • Let everyone assemble their own. Kids love it, grown-ups love it… and somehow dinner feels like a mini fiesta.
