Sheet Pan Fajita Chicken Wraps

Featured in: Cozy Weeknight Meals

This dish features tender, spiced chicken strips roasted alongside a medley of colorful bell peppers and red onions on a single sheet pan. The vibrant ingredients are then layered with fresh lettuce, cherry tomatoes, creamy avocado, and cheese, all wrapped in warm, soft tortillas. Roasting everything together not only enhances the flavors but simplifies cleanup, making this meal perfect for busy weeknights. Optional toppings like cilantro, sour cream, and lime wedges add bright, fresh touches.

Preparation involves marinating the chicken in a blend of spices including chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika, which infuse the meat with a smoky, zesty profile. Roasting the vegetables brings out natural sweetness and slight char, balancing the heat and earthiness of the chicken. The wraps can be customized with gluten-free tortillas or plant-based substitutes, accommodating dietary preferences without sacrificing taste or texture.
