Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 large tortillas (flour or corn)

Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, lime wedges, fresh cilantro

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.

      Toss the Chicken and Vegetables: Add the sliced chicken, bell peppers, and onion to the bowl. Toss everything together until the chicken and vegetables are thoroughly coated in the marinade.

        Create Foil Packs: Lay out four large pieces of aluminum foil (about 12 inches long). Divide the chicken and pepper mixture evenly among the foil sheets, placing it in the center of each piece.

          Seal the Foil Packs: Fold the sides of the foil over the chicken and vegetables to create a sealed packet, making sure there are no openings to allow steam to escape.

            Bake: Place the foil packs on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

              Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken fajita foil packs are baking, warm the tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until soft and pliable.

                Serve: Once done baking, carefully open the foil packs (watch out for steam!). Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture onto the warmed tortillas. Add your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, lime wedges, and fresh cilantro.

                  Enjoy: Fold the tortillas over the filling, and dig in! These tasty, customizable chicken fajitas are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a weekend gathering.
