Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly coat a sheet pan with cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, chopped onion, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, and kosher salt.
- Add the chicken strips to the marinade and toss to coat. Let sit for 10 minutes while slicing the vegetables.
- Spread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, and onion evenly on the prepared sheet pan.
- Roast for 20–25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked and veggies are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Meanwhile, make the guacamole by mashing the avocado with lime juice, sea salt, and cilantro in a small bowl.
- Warm the tortillas in a skillet or oven until soft and pliable.
- Assemble fajitas by adding roasted chicken and veggies to a tortilla, topping with guacamole and shredded cheese. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Cut ingredients evenly to ensure everything cooks at the same rate.
- Preheat the sheet pan for extra caramelization.
- Double the marinade if you like saucier fajitas.
- Warm tortillas before serving for best texture.
