For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the spice mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, in the refrigerator. Feel free to customize the vegetables to your liking. Other great additions include yellow bell peppers, green bell peppers, or even a handful of sliced mushrooms. To easily warm the corn tortillas, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds, or heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few seconds per side. To make this dish vegetarian, substitute the chicken with 1 (14-ounce) can of drained and rinsed black beans or pinto beans. Add the beans to the vegetable mixture before baking.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, chili powder, paprika, sugar, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and cumin until well combined. This creates the flavorful base for your fajita seasoning. (2 minutes)
03
StepIn a large bowl, toss the sliced chicken, red bell peppers, and onion. Sprinkle the cornstarch mixture over the chicken and vegetables, ensuring everything is evenly coated with the spice blend. Transfer the mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it in a single layer. (10 minutes)
04
StepBake in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 30 minutes. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (30 minutes)
05
StepWarm the corn tortillas according to package directions. Serve the sizzling chicken and vegetable mixture immediately in the warm corn tortillas. Garnish with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, guacamole, shredded cheese, or a squeeze of lime juice.
