Ingredients

1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pinch ground cayenne pepper
1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders, quartered
4 cups sliced bell peppers, any color
1 onion, sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 lime, juiced

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Combine oil, chili powder, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken tenders, bell peppers, and onion; seal the bag and shake to mix. Marinate in the refrigerator, 30 minutes to 2 hours.
3 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a rimmed sheet pan with aluminum foil.
4 Spread chicken mixture onto the prepared pan.
5 Roast in the preheated oven, stirring halfway, until chicken is no longer pink and bell peppers are softened, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
6 Sprinkle cilantro and pour lime juice over chicken mixture; stir to distribute. Serve hot with warm tortillas and your favorite fajita toppings.
