Oven Baked Fajitas

You need to make this recipe. Like, today. 

This is the easiest, easiest thing you could make for dinner. Other than a bowl of cereal.
Especially since our house helper chops all the veggies and makes our tortillas for us, this is literally the easiest dinner I make. (In fact, I use the phrase "I make" very loosely, since I, in fact, do hardly anything).

The beauty of these fajitas is that you just cook the whole thing in oven together. No slaving away over the stove sauteeing veggies and chicken. Does it lose a little of the wonderful grilled chicken flavor by cooking it in the oven? Of course. But I only know one person in India who has a grill (Hi Steph!), so that's kind of a moot point here anyway. 
I sprinkle my chicken with some fajita seasoning I brought from America, but if you don't have any here in India with you, here's a recipe to make your own
Serve these along with your favorite toppings. We just stuck with salsa and shredded cheese. Soooooo delicious. 
If you're a gluten free person, you could even make this and just serve it over rice. Yum! I'm not gluten free and I still might do that someday.

Oven Baked Fajitas

3 chicken breasts, cut into strips
2 green bell peppers
1 red bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
2-3 onions
2-3 TBS fajita seasoning mix
2-3 TBS olive oil
Tortillas (here's a recipe for homemade tortillas)

Heat oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 F)
Cut the peppers and onions into strips. Sprinkle the chicken breast strips with 1-2 TBS of the fajita seasoning mix. 
Drizzle some olive oil in the bottom of a large oven safe pan. Put the chicken in the pan, followed by all the chopped veggies. Drizzle with more olive oil, and more fajita seasoning, then stir to mix well. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Serve with your favorite fajita toppings! Enjoy your easiest dinner ever. 
Serves 5-6 people.
