INGREDIENTS

12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 3⁄4-inch strips

2 cups sliced bell pepper

1 1/2 cups sliced red onion

1 tablespoon olive oil

Juice of 1/2 lime

1 1/2 tablespoons Chili Spice Blend*

1/4 teaspoon each: salt and pepper

4 soft corn tortillas

1/2 avocado, sliced or chopped

1/2 cup fresh salsa

2 cups chopped romaine lettuce

1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt, optional

Fresh cilantro and lime wedges, for garnish

CHILI SPICE BLEND INGREDIENTS

3 tablespoons chili powder

2 tablespoons cumin

1 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano

1 tablespoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.

In a large mixing bowl, toss chicken, bell pepper, and onion in lime juice, olive oil, spice blend, salt, and pepper. For best flavor, cover, refrigerate, and let marinate for 30 minutes.

Spread the marinated chicken and vegetables out on the sheet pan in a single layer.

Bake 15–18 minutes, flipping ingredients halfway through, just until chicken is cooked throughout. For more color, set oven rack to the top position and broil on high for the last 2 minutes of the cook time.

Arrange 2 corn tortillas on each of 2 serving plates and top with an equal amount of the chicken and vegetables. 6 Serve fajitas topped with an equal amount of the sliced avocado, fresh salsa, and romaine lettuce. Serve topped with Greek yogurt and garnished with lime wedges and cilantro, if desired.

Mona’s Tips: I like to serve these with all of the ingredients neatly arranged on a platter so each person can assemble their own fajitas. I serve with plenty of romaine lettuce, so that any ingredients that don’t fit into the tortillas can be eaten as a salad.

Ingredient Insider: Look for taco-sized corn tortillas without any wheat flour in the ingredients. A serving of 2 corn tortillas should be around 100 calories. For the best texture, warm them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds before serving.
