Fajitas without the smoky pan: toss everything on one tray, blast it in a very hot oven and finish with a squeeze of lime. The edges of the peppers and onions char and sweeten while the chicken stays juicy.

A homemade seasoning of chili, cumin, paprika and garlic means no packet needed.

Instructions

  4. Squeeze over the lime. Warm the tortillas and serve with the toppings.

Note

Slices of similar thickness cook evenly. Use corn tortillas for gluten-free fajitas. Spicier? Add cayenne. Keeps 3 days in the fridge; reheat in a hot pan.
