Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced 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 extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika (or regular paprika)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 large tortillas (choose between flour or corn)

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

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for the foil packs.

    Prepare the Marinade: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the extra-virgin olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until they form a cohesive marinade.

      Toss the Chicken and Vegetables: Add the sliced chicken, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and onion into the mixing bowl. Gently toss everything together until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated with the flavorful marinade.

        Create Foil Packs: Lay out four large pieces of aluminum foil, each about 12 inches long. Divide the marinated chicken and vegetable mixture evenly among the foil sheets, placing it in the center of each piece.

          Seal the Foil Packs: Fold the sides of each piece of foil over the chicken and vegetables, creating a sealed packet. Make sure that there are no openings to prevent steam from escaping during baking.

            Bake: Transfer the sealed foil packs onto a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

              Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken fajita foil packs are baking, warm the tortillas. Heat a skillet over medium heat and place each tortilla in the skillet for 1-2 minutes per side, or until they are soft and pliable.

                Serve: Once the foil packs are done baking, carefully open each packet—be cautious of the hot steam! Spoon the delicious chicken and vegetable mixture directly onto the warmed tortillas. Top with your favorite garnishes such as shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, a squeeze of lime, and fresh cilantro.

                  Enjoy: Fold the tortillas over the filling and get ready to savor every bite! These customizable chicken fajitas make for a delightful weeknight dinner or a fun gathering with friends and family.
