These are perfect piled high in a tortilla and topped with your favorite toppings. Serve with a helping of cilantro lime rice and topped with our favorite Pico de Gallo for a delicious meal!
Why Make Fajitas in the Oven?
Chicken Fajitas is one of my all-time favorite meals! I should say ANY fajitas including steak, shrimp, or pork! Oven chicken fajitas are tender when and so flavorful as the veggies are added and everything cooks together all in one dish! So just toss the ingredients together, pop in the oven and walk away for an easy, quick, and mess-free dish!
How to Make Oven Fajitas
This recipe starts with sliced onion, chicken, seasonings, and tomatoes. I find that slicing chicken while it’s partially defrosted makes the job much easier! Once done, a quick squeeze of fresh lime (and a sprinkle of cilantro) makes these fajitas pop with flavor!
My Favorite Fajitas Toppings
Fajitas really lend themselves to all kinds of creative mix-ins! Create a platter of colorful mix-ins and let everyone help themselves! Here are some of my favorites below!
Beans: black beans, pinto, pinquito, or refried beans Rice: brown or white rice (seasoned) Cheese: cheddar, Monterey Jack, Cotija Sauce: sour cream, guacamole, salsa Veggies: potatoes, zucchini Additional Toppings: sliced black olives & jalapenos, green chiles, pepitas (toasted pumpkin seeds)
Got Leftovers?
If you’re lucky enough to have any leftovers, they make amazing quesadillas the next day for lunch or are perfect on a salad with a dressing of salsa and sour cream (or greek yogurt).
