Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips

1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

4 large tortillas (choose between flour or corn)

Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, lime wedges, fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures a hot environment for the foil packs to cook evenly.

    Prepare the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined, creating a flavorful marinade that will infuse the chicken and vegetables.

      Combine Ingredients: Add the sliced chicken, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and onion into the bowl with the marinade. Using your hands or a spatula, toss everything together until all ingredients are thoroughly coated in the seasoning mix.

        Create Foil Packs: On a clean, flat surface, lay out four pieces of aluminum foil, each about 12 inches in length. Evenly distribute the chicken and vegetable mixture in the center of each foil piece, ensuring that there’s enough room around the edges for sealing.

          Seal the Foil Packs: Fold the longer sides of the foil over the filling first, then fold the shorter sides to create a well-sealed packet. Make sure there are no openings for steam to escape, as this will help cook everything evenly and keep it juicy.

            Bake the Foil Packs: Place the prepared foil packs on a baking sheet and transfer them to the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

              Warm the Tortillas: While the foil packs are baking, take a skillet and heat it over medium heat. Warm the tortillas for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they become soft and pliable, making them easy to fold around the filling.

                Serve the Fajitas: Once the baking time is complete, carefully unwrap the foil packs (be cautious of the hot steam!). Use a spoon to scoop the chicken and vegetable mixture onto the warmed tortillas. Top with your choice of optional toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, lime wedges, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

                  Enjoy: Fold the tortillas over the delicious filling and take a big bite! These flavor-packed chicken fajitas are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a fun weekend meal with friends and family.
