Swannys Killer Fajitas Recipes

BAKED FAJITAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Mix cornstarch, chili powder, paprika, sugar, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and cumin together in a bowl.
• Combine chicken, red bell peppers, and onion in a bowl; add cornstarch mixture and stir until evenly coated. Transfer to a baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes. Serve chicken mixture in corn tortillas.

SHEET PAN CHICKEN FAJITAS

Steps:

• Combine vegetable oil, chili powder, oregano, garlic, onion, cumin, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken tenders, bell peppers, and onion; shake to mix.
• Marinate chicken mixture in the refrigerator, 30 minutes to 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a rimmed sheet pan with aluminum foil.
• Spread chicken mixture onto prepared pan.
• Roast in the preheated oven, stirring halfway through, until chicken is no longer pink and bell peppers soften, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Sprinkle cilantro and pour lime juice over chicken mixture; toss to distribute.

HOMEMADE CHICKEN FAJITAS

Steps:

• Whisk chili powder, paprika, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder for fajita seasoning together in a small bowl.
• Trim chicken of any excess fat and place in a large, lidded bowl. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with about 3/4 of the fajita seasoning. Toss, adding more oil if necessary, until coated. Poke chicken with a knife to allow penetration of seasoning and oil. Place the lid on the bowl and shake until chicken is thoroughly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator, shaking every couple of hours, for 4 to 6 hours.
• Remove the marinating bowl from the refrigerator and let sit on the counter until chicken is room temperature, about 1 hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Make 2 stacks of 4 tortillas, and wrap each one in aluminum foil.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add peppers and onion. Stir in remaining fajita seasoning and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft, 8 to 10 minutes.
• While vegetables are cooking, place tortillas in the oven to warm. At the same time, grill chicken, turning halfway through, until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• To assemble fajitas, fill warmed tortillas with chicken, peppers, and onions.
