15-minute chicken fajita tray bake

Make your own healthy chicken fajitas in a flash

Gluten-free
Nut-free
A baking tray filled with chicken and assorted vegetables, all covered in fajita seasoning

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Place the chicken, capsicum, onion, seasoning and oil in a large bowl and toss well to combine.
  2. Spread chicken mixture in a single layer on the prepared tray and bake for 12 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
  3. Meanwhile, mash the avocado in a small bowl and lightly season with salt and pepper. Warm the tortillas following packet instructions. Serve the chicken fajita mixture with avocado sour cream and tortillas.

Serving tip: Serve with lime wedges and sprinkled with fresh coriander leaves.

Variations: 

Use turkey breast or beef rump strips instead of chicken.

Cooking tip: 

You could also use chicken breast cut into thick strips for the same result.

Money-saving tip: 

If there’s leftover avocado, squeeze some extra lime over it before storing in the fridge to prevent it from going brown and being wasted.

Storage tip:

TO REFRIGERATE: Store fajita mixture in a reusable container for up to 2 days. Reheat

in the microwave until heated through to serve.

TO FREEZE: Store fajita mixture, as above, for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator

overnight and reheat as above to serve.

Nutrition tips:

Swap the flour tortillas for a wholegrain wrap for more fibre. 

Swap store-bought taco seasoning for homemade using spices from your pantry. Try paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chilli powder, cumin.
