How to Make Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas

Step 1: Prep & Preheat

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and give it a light spray of oil to prevent sticking (and make cleanup even easier!).

Step 2: Make the Yummy Seasoning Mix

In a bowl, mix together the minced garlic, oregano, paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, and olive oil. This is where all the bold fajita flavor comes from!

Step 3: Toss & Coat

Add the sliced chicken, bell peppers, and onion to the bowl. Toss everything together until it’s well coated with that delicious seasoning mix.

Step 4: Spread & Bake

Spread the chicken and veggies evenly on the prepared sheet pan. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, then give everything a good stir. Bake for another 10-15 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked (165°F internal temp).

Step 5: Warm Those Tortillas

For the last 5 minutes, wrap the flour tortillas in aluminum foil and place them in the oven to warm up. Soft, warm tortillas = happiness!

Step 6: Finishing Touches & Serve

Remove the pan from the oven, drizzle fresh lime juice over everything, and sprinkle on some chopped cilantro for that extra fresh flavor boost. Serve the fajitas in your warm tortillas and load them up with your favorite toppings—think avocado, sour cream, salsa, or shredded cheese!

Recipe Notes & Pro Tips

• Switch up the veggies! No red onions? Use white or yellow onions instead.
• Prefer steak or shrimp? You can swap the protein easily!
• Make it spicier by adding some cayenne pepper or a sliced jalapeño.
• Meal prep tip: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave for a quick and easy meal.
