New twist on Fajitas… and a copycat salsa

I absolutely LOVE Mexican food, and whenever we go out, I’m usually craving some chicken fajitas.  That enticingly smokey aroma that wafts through the whole restaurant as the waiter carries out your sizzling platter of delisciousness…. *drools*. These oven baked chicken fajitas are ahhhh-mazing and ridiculously simple!  

Slice up your veggies, and slice your chicken into similar sized strips.

Toss your veggies and chicken into a 9×13″ pan, sprinkle with your spice mixture, drizzle with vegetable oil and toss to combine everything really well.  Don’t use a kitchen utensil for this one, use your best 2 tools you have… your hands 🙂  Go on, get messy, it’s fun and does the job quickly 😉

Now just put them in a 400 degree oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring once halfway through.  

Ding!!  Your fajitas are finished!

Top with your favorite condiments and salsa 🙂
