Sheet Pan Poblano Chicken Fajitas
This dish was eaten in celebration of Cinco de Mayo. I follow Half Baked Harvest on Facebook and saw an article for her Cinco de Mayo recipes and decided on this. I think it was super good, I loved the poblano pepper. It was super simple and nice to only get one pan dirty.
Some things I did this time were:
Sheet Pan Poblano Chicken Fajitas
Makes: 4 servings
Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt and pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 orange and (1) red bell pepper, sliced
1 poblano pepper, sliced
1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
juice of 1 lime, plus more for serving
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped, plus more for serving
8-10 flour tortillas, warmed
2 cups steamed rice, for serving
shredded cheddar, sliced avocado and salsa, for serving
Steps:
Some things I did this time were:
- I would probably use another poblano or two next time.
- I subbed in a red onion for the sweet onion.
- I only had one pepper from my forgetfulness and the sweet pepper tahini sauce.
- The rice didn't seem totally necessary, but was handy to have since I made a rice bowl instead of a fajita the day after.
- I tried making an avocado cream that I vaguely remember having at Tara and Kalin's a few years ago. I failed, used way too much sour cream and had no mayonnaise.
- This recipe made more than 4 servings in my opinion, we had leftovers for 2 days after it.
