Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan or lightly grease a baking tray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken, bell peppers, and red onion.
  • Add the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  • Spread the mixture across the sheet pan in a single even layer.
  • Roast for 22 to 25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender with lightly charred edges.
  • Remove from the oven and finish with chopped cilantro and an extra squeeze of lime if desired.
  • Serve hot in warm flour tortillas with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the tray, or the ingredients may steam instead of roast. Chicken thighs can be used instead of chicken breast for a juicier result. The filling keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Serve with avocado, salsa, sour cream, or shredded lettuce for extra flavor and texture.
