Baked Fajitas make for an easy and delicious dinner any night!

Baked Fajitas make for a delicious and easy dinner time!  They take minutes to prepare and you only need one pan!

Baked Fajitas make for an easy and delicious dinner any night!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe!

We love chicken fajitas at our house.  And I also love to make slow cooker chicken fajitas.  But I think I have found a new favorite way to fix fajitas – Baked Fajitas! The taste is amazing and they are full of flavor.

Everything is put into a 9 x 13″ pan and baked in the oven. The flavor is amazing and it couldn’t be easier!

Baked Fajitas

Baked Fajitas Ingredients

  • Chicken. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Olive oil. You can also use canola or vegetable oil.
  • Onion. White or yellow onion will work.
  • Veggies. Use an onion and a combination of bell pepper. I prefer red, orange or yellow bell peppers.
  • Spices.  You can use store bought fajita seasoning or make your own using the recipe below.
  • Tortillas. Use corn or flour tortillas or make your own corn tortillas.
Fajita Seasoning Mix

Fajita Seasoning Recipe

For the fajita seasoning I used a combination of:

Cornstarch, chili powder, salt, paprika, sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper and cumin.

See recipe card below for exact amounts.  Save yourself a trip to the store and make your own.

One pan baked fajitas

How to Make Baked Fajitas

  • Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray. You can also use a baking sheet.
  • Slice chicken into thin strips.
  • Place your chicken, onions and peppers into a greased baking dish.  
  • Sprinkle with your seasoning mix and drizzle with oil.  
  • Toss to coat chicken completely.
  • Bake at 400 degrees F. for 30-35 minutes.

What to Serve on Oven Baked Fajitas

Toppings are optional but we like to serve our fajitas with:

  • Sour Cream
  • Guacamole
  • Shredded Cheese
  • Tomato
  • Pico de Gallo or Salsa
  • Fresh Cilantro
  • Fresh lime juice
One pan baked fajitas will become a family favorite.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use skinless, boneless chicken thighs for baked fajitas?

You can substitute thighs for breast meat if you prefer. Just trim off the excess fat from the thighs before using them.

Can I use store bought fajita seasoning mix.

You definitely can. I always have the seasonings on hand to make my own so that is easier than buying it at the store and I can control the sodium that way too.

How do I know when the chicken is done?

The temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees F. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.

Can I Use Taco Seasoning instead of Fajita Seasoning?

You sure can, the flavor will be slightly different but still delicious.

How to Reheat Baked Fajitas

If you have leftover baked fajitas, reheat the leftovers in a skillet on the stove.I recommend heating the leftovers in a skillet on the stove. Reheating in the microwave can cause the chicken to become rubbery and the peppers to get mushy.

Pair this with:

  • Lime Cilantro Rice
  • Mexican Rice
  • Mexican Corn Salad
  • Coleslaw Mexican Style
  • Instant Pot Black Beans
  • Cafe Rio Black Beans
  • Corn Tortillas

    We love this meal. It is part of our monthly meal plan. We eat it on low carb soft taco shells. One person eats it with sour cream, another with ranch dressing, and us grownups eat it with avocado. Quick and easy to fee any hungry crowd. I have referred several people to this recipe and they all love it.

      Suzanne, I just use vegetable or canola oil. Not sure on the exact amounts, start with a tablespoon or so that you just lightly coat the meat.

    Hi, I have a couple of questions… First, what do you use to grease your baking dish with? Just curious. And second, you leave it uncovered the entire time you cook it, correct? Thanks! I’m SO excited to try this recipe!
