Instructions
MAKE THE FAJITAS
- Preheat oven to 400°F and set aside a rimmed sheet pan.
- In a mixing bowl, add 2 1/2 Tbsp vegetable oil, lime juice, chili powder, paprika, sugar, onion powder, salt, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne. Whisk together and add chicken strips to the bowl and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate while oven preheats.
- Use tongs to add chicken to sheet pan. Add sliced onion and peppers to same mixing bowl with residual spice mixture, along with remaining 1/2 Tbsp vegetable oil and toss to combine. Add to sheet pan alongside chicken.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken strips reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. If the peppers and onions aren’t cooked quite enough, remove the chicken from the pan and place the pan with the vegetables back in the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes until they are soft and a bit caramelized.
MAKE GUACAMOLE
- Scoop out the flesh of the pitted avocados and add to a mixing bowl. Add lime juice and mash with a fork or potato masher.
- Stir in cilantro, red onion and a pinch of salt. Taste and add more salt if needed.
