Oven Chicken Fajitas

Aloha! Hope everyone had a good spring break. I pulled this weeks recipe from Pinterest but I made a few modifications. This is easy and makes enough to have left-overs. The link is as follows: http://www.budgetbytes.com/2013/02/oven-fajitas/

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 package packaged fajita mix (I used Simply Organic beef fajita seasoning, but I don't see why any other brand wouldn't work just as good, if not better.)
  • 2 small (or 1 lg.) onion
  • 2 medium green bell peppers
  • 1 medium red bell pepper
  • 1 lb. chicken breast
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 medium lime
  • 8 (6-inch) tortillas
  • ½ cup sour cream (optional)
  • ¼ bunch cilantro (optional) 
Directions:
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cut the onion and bell peppers into ¼ to ½ inch wide strips. Place them in a large 9×13 inch casserole dish. Slice the chicken breast into very thin strips and add it to the casserole dish with the vegetables.
  • Sprinkle the seasoning over the meat and vegetables. Drizzle the vegetable oil over everything and then use your hands to toss the ingredients until everything is well coated in oil and seasoning. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring once half way through. Squeeze the juice from half of the lime over top of the meat and vegetables after it comes out of the oven.
  • Scoop meat and vegetables into the center of each tortilla. Top with a few sprigs of cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and an extra squeeze of lime if desired.
Enjoy!
