Directions: |
Directions:1. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Spray 17x12-inch rimmed baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
2. For the seasoning: In a small bowl whisk together chili powder, cumin, paprika, coriander, 1 ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper, set aside.
3. For the fajitas: spread bell peppers and yellow onion onto baking sheet.
4. Top with chicken strips then sprinkle garlic and seasoning evenly over chicken strips.
5. Drizzle olive oil over the top then toss everything to evenly coat. Spread into an even layer working to keep chicken from overlapping.
6. Roast in preheated oven, tossing once halfway through cooking, until veggies are tender and chicken has cooked through about 25 minutes. You can test some of the larger pieces - they should be 165ºF in the center.
7. Wrap tortillas tightly in foil and warm in oven during the last 5 minutes of fajita filling cooking.
8. Drizzle lime juice evenly over the top of the chicken fajita filling sprinkle with cilantro and more salt to taste and toss to coat. (may not need more salt if using Kosher meat).
9. Serve filling warm in warmed tortillas with desired toppings. |

Notes: I made both beef and chicken fajitas for Shabbat dinner - made my own refried beans, a delicious corn and black bean salad, shredded some iceberg lettuce, added guacamole and sour cream (parve) and a bit of pico de gallo... pretty authentic and very yummy!
