There are some days when I don’t know where the time goes. And I’m pretty sure most people feel the same. Just because I’m busy, that doesn’t mean I don’t have time to eat. Oh, no, no. Dawn always has time to eat, ha ha!

How To Make Baked Chicken Fajitas
Here is an overview of how to make baked chicken fajitas (full details are in the recipe card below):
Slice the peppers, onion and chicken into strips, then toss with avocado oil and taco seasoning. Spread out onto a parchment paper-lined sheet pan and cook until the chicken is fully cooked through and the veggies are tender.
Once everything is ready, serve onto warmed tortillas, garnish with your favourite fajita toppings (if you like) and devour. Easy, right?!
Best Tortilla To Use
For fajitas, I love to use flour tortillas. They’re nice and sturdy and can stand up to the ingredients a little more than, say, corn tortillas.
The best size to use is something around 6 to 7 inches in diameter.
Fajita Toppings
As far as fajitas toppings goes, let your heart (or taste buds) be your guide! Some delicious options are:
- Chopped cilantro
- Guacamole
- Salsa
- Pico de gallo
- Hot sauce
- Sour cream (or, though not traditional, plain Greek yogurt)
- Sliced jalapeno peppers
- Shredded cheddar cheese
What To Serve With It
When it comes to sides, I love serving these chicken fajitas with chips and salsa, grilled corn, fluffy rice, refried beans or homemade fries.

What a great quick and hearty dinner! I love the idea of using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. I’ve never thought to try it. I know the tartness of the yogurt would be so tasty with the taco seasoning! 🙂 ~Valentina

Yes!! I’m pretty sure I could eat fajitas every night of the week. I love that this version is all baked on one sheet pan – nice and easy! This is my kinda comfort food. I’d love to curl up on the couch with a plate of these and a good Netflix show on tv. 🙂 Hope you have a great weekend ahead, Dawn!
