Easy prep work, easy clean up and very tasty! I cheated and used a fajita mix instead of the spices (I was in a hurry for lunch lol) but everything was ready for the oven in a matter of minutes and the veggies came out tender with just a hint of crispiness...excellent. Plan on making often. -
Wonderful and so easy to make. I love that it goes in the oven as roasting the veggies bring out their natural sweetness. The only thing I'd do different next time would be to spread out the veggies more. I used large veggies and needed more room. So 2 baking sheets next time with some veggies with chicken on one and rest on the other sheet making sure veggies have plenty of room. Made for *1-2-3 Hit Wonders* game 2007 -
This was a good meal! I doubled the recipe because I had 2 lbs of chicken. I used a red, green, yellow, and orange pepper. Added some pepper and red chili pepper flakes. We ate it with refried beans and tortillas. Made a lot. Will be eating it for lunch tomorrow. I think next time I will use a fajita packet of seasoning. -
Excellent recipe..very easy. I added corn and black beans. I used store bought taco seasoning. Very tasty meal! I didn't put in shells but just ate in a bowl for less calories. -
What a great concept. I followed others' suggestions to use 2 pans, and was glad of it, you definitely need it for the full recipe. We added the usual fajita toppings: guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo, lettuce and lime wedges. We used the large flour tortillas, so only needed 5 (to feed 5 people).

This is such a quick and easy dish to whip together on busy work nights. The flavor is wonderful. I used home-made salsa in place of the tomatoes and am so glad I did. It gave it just the right amount of thickness for the sauce. A sure keeper~<br/>Made for ZaarStars~

My name is Sara. I live in Portland, OR and I work at a retirement community in the Wellness department. I love to cook! I occasionally do cooking demonstrations at work and typically have over 40 people! This is a lot considering I have no professional training, and I never really cooked at all until a few years after high school. I try to focus on cooking healthy foods, though I believe if you're going to indulge you might as well go all the way (case in point: Black Forest Cake)! I'm always looking for new and unusual recipes and my main source is the net, currently 'zaar. I've been more successful here than anywhere else! I also subscribe to Light & Tasty (part of Taste of Home) and I highly recommend that magazine, it really proves that you can eat healthy and enjoy it.
