Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry all produce.

    Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion; mince a few slices until you have 2 TBSP (4 TBSP for 4 servings). Halve, core, and thinly slice poblano into strips.

  2. 2

    Toss sliced onion and poblano on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

    Roast on top rack for 5 minutes (you’ll add more to the sheet then).

  3. 3

    While veggies roast, pat chicken* dry with paper towels. Season all over with Fajita Spice, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and rub to evenly coat.

  4. 4

    Once veggies have roasted 5 minutes, remove baking sheet from oven. Carefully add chicken to empty side.

    Return to top rack until chicken is browned and cooked through and veggies are tender and slightly crisp, 15-18 minutes. TIP: If veggies are done before chicken, remove from sheet and continue roasting chicken.

    Transfer chicken to a cutting board; let rest at least 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, dice tomato. Roughly chop cilantro. Quarter lime.

    In a small bowl, combine tomato, cilantro, minced onion, and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds. Divide between plates.

    Thinly slice chicken crosswise.

    Serve chicken, veggies, pico de gallo, smoky red pepper crema, remaining lime wedges, and Monterey Jack in separate bowls or plates for a build-your-own fajita bar!
