No need for the scorching hot platters you see in restaurants—these easy chicken fajitas are made right in your oven! A virtually universal favorite, these Easy Oven-Baked Chicken Fajitas combine a blend of Mexican seasonings and the essential onions and bell peppers that help fill up your tortilla with flavor. Baking chicken fajitas in the oven not only makes your life easier but also keeps your chicken juicy, develops the flavors of the seasonings and roasts the onions and peppers to melt-in-your-mouth tenderness.

Next, you drizzle with oil, sprinkle with seasoning mix, toss to coat and 35 to 40 minutes later dinner is served! We love the idea of assembling these fajitas at the table. Simply serve alongside tortillas, sour cream, salsa and cilantro to complete the meal! Lime juice is a common condiment in Mexican cuisine.
