These chicken fajitas are a family favourite made easier on the sheet pan. Served with warmed tortillas, Pico de Gallo and avocado crema, these make great leftovers so make a double batch and take them for lunch the next day!<\/p>\n

Pico de Gallo or Salsa Fresca is traditionally made with equal parts tomatoes and onion, with fresh chopped cilantro, lime juice and jalapeno. I remove the seeds but if you like your salsa hot, leave the seeds in.<\/p>\n

Avocado crema is a smooth and tangy sauce, lighter than guacamole, and works really well with these fajitas. I use Tajin in my recipe. It’s a unique seasoning made with a blend of mild chili peppers, lime, and sea salt. You can find it in the Mexican foods section of your supermarket. I highly recommend keeping a bottle in your spice cupboard. It’s great all-purpose seasoning and tastes great on fruit and on the rim of your margarita.<\/p>\n

Stir to make sure chicken is coated evenly with spices. Add chicken to the other side of the baking sheet. Place baking sheet in oven for 30 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. At the 25 minute mark, place the foil wrapped tortillas in the oven for warming. Serve with grated cheddar, lime wedges, avocado crema and pico de gallo. Recipes below.<\/span><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>
