Cook Time30 Minutes
Ingredients
3 Tbsp olive oil (divided)
1 Tbsp lime juice
2 tsp brown sugar
2 tsp chili powder (divided)
1 tsp ground cumin (divided)
3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
cilantro sprigs, salsa, sour cream, shredded lettuce, and shredded cheddar cheese or Tex Mex cheese mix, to taste (see Note)
1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 large green bell pepper, halved, seeded and thinly sliced
1 large red bell pepper, halved, seeded and thinly sliced
6 (9- or 10-inch), or 12 (6-inch), flour tortillas (see Note)
lime slices, for garnish
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 F. Combine 1 Tbsp oil, lime juice, brown sugar, 1 tsp chili powder and 1/2 tsp cumin in a small bowl. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set the chicken breasts on it. Brush chicken with the oil mixture. Bake chicken 25 minutes, or until cooked thorough. Remove chicken from the oven and cool 10 minutes.
- While chicken cools, turn oven to 200 F. Heat the remaining 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick skillet set over medium-high. Add the onion and bell peppers and cook until just tender, about 4 to 5 minutes, and then transfer to a heatproof serving dish.
- Wrap tortillas in foil and set in the oven. Thinly slice each chicken breast and set them on top of the onions and peppers. Set the chicken, onions and peppers in the oven to keep warm while set your toppings, the cilantro, salsa, sour cream, lettuce and cheese, in serving bowls.
- To serve, set the chicken, onion and peppers, tortillas and toppings on your dining table. Now let diner’s make they own fajita(s), to taste.
Note: Bags of flour tortillas are sold in our bread aisle. They come in different sizes. If you use larger ones, serve one fajita per person. If you use smaller ones, serve two fajitas per person. Tex Mex cheese mix is sold in bags in our dairy aisle.
