I can't remember when or where I found this recipe, but I've used it nearly every week since. We like it with hot sauce for added spice. -Amy Trinkle of Milwaukee, Wisconsin

It's a winner... I used what I had on hand, so used yellow pepper instead of read, almost 2 pounds of chicken and 1.5 times the chili powder and cumin. Baked it at 425 for 25 minutes and the veggies were nicely caramelized.

This recipe was very good. I will definitely make it again and probably won't make any changes.

I thought these might be too spicy for my kids, but they hardly seemed spicy at all and the kids ate them up!

I used sirloin steak instead of chicken for a steak fajitas version, it was excellent. Will try the chicken next time.

We loved this. I wouldn't make any changes! It's quick and easy, fairly healthy and really tasty! I served it with sour cream to cool the spice a little.

Thanks for the recipe!

What an easy way to make fajitas. Pop it in the oven and let it bake while you prep the rest of your meal. I used 2 lbs. of chicken and had to bake it for about 35 min. Yum!

Easy and fast to prepare. The whole family loves this recipe served with shredded cheese and sour cream. In the summer we add julienned zucchini.

This recipe is our favorite! It's so quick and easy and has great flavor! My husband and I add reduced fat sour cream and a little sprinkle of cheddar that makes it that much yummier!
