Oven Baked Chicken Fajitas
I have a serious weakness for Mexican food, especially chicken fajitas. I could eat chicken fajitas every day. Normally grill my fajitas. but I baked the fajitas this time because I wanted fajitas and didn't marinate any chicken. I tossed the chicken and veggies with some fajita seasoning and thew everything in the oven. OMG! They turned out great. I absolutely loved the flavor!
This was SO simple to make. You could even toss everything together the night before and refrigerate it until you got home from work. I think this would be a great freezer meal too. Toss everything into a gallon freezer bag and pull it out when you are ready to bake. Either way, you must make these. Serve the fajitas with some black beans and rice for a midweek fiesta!
