Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas

Ingredients:

1 & 1/2 lbs Chicken breast or tenders

1 Yellow bell pepper

1 Orange Bell pepper

1 Red bell pepper

1 Red onion

1 Lime

1 1/2 tbsp Olive oil, extra virgin

Flour Tortillas

Cilantro

Spices:

1/2 tsp Garlic powder

1/2 tsp Onion powder

2 tsp Chili powder

1 tsp Kosher salt

1/2 tsp Paprika, smoked

1/2 tsp Ground Cumin

Pepper, freshly ground

Preheat oven to 425.

In a small bowl combine all the spices, including salt and pepper.

In a large bowl combine: Onion, bell peppers, chicken tenders, oilve oil, and spice mixture.  Toss to combine.

Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and spread chicken mixture out on pan.

Cook for about 25 minuets on 425. Turn on broil and cook for an additional 1-2 minuets to let the veggies pick up some color, be careful not to burn.

While oven is on broil, warm tortillas in microwave per package directions.

Once you remove the sheet pan from the oven squeeze juice from lime over fajita mixture.

Serve fajita mixture over the warmed tortillas.  If you'd like top with fresh cilantro, which I forgot to pick up at the grocery store!

Lazy Enchiladas

1 box Taquitos Chicken or Beef

2 cans of Green Enchilada Sauce (if chicken) or Red Enchilada Sauce (if beef)

Cooking spray

Measure the following with your heart:

Mexican Shredded Cheese

Shredded Luttuce 

Diced Tomatoes 

Cilantro 

Spray 9x13 glass or metal baking dish. Add taquitos to pan and spray top of taquitos. Bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees.

Meanwhile, chop toppings: luttuce,  tomatoes, cilantro and set aside.

Once 15 minutes has passed, add enchilada sauce. Then shredded cheese. Bake additional 15 minutes. 

Once the additional baking time is up plate and enjoy (and maybe forget to take a photo of the finish untouched recipe!)

I added luttuce and then ended up making my favorite pico (recipe here) for toppings! Helps when you get fresh jalapeños from your neighbors' grandson! <3
