Baked Fajitas for a healthier option


I'll never forget the day that my friend came back from lunch and her boss told her she smelled like a fajita. She was so embarrassed. Personally, I think there are a lot worse things that you can smell like. But for those days when you don't want to smell like a fajita, here is a baked option that is just as good and a lot easier.

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes
1 (4 oz) can diced green chilies
1 medium onion, sliced
1 large bell pepper, seeded and sliced
2 T vegetable oil
2 t. chili powder
2 t. cumin
1/2 t. garlic powder
1/2 t. dried oregano
1/4 t. salt
12 Mission carb balance flour tortillas
1 1/2 cups Kraft Reduced Fat Mexican 4 Cheese Blend

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Grease a 13×9 baking dish.

Mix together chicken, tomatoes, chilies, peppers and onions in the dish.

In a small bowl combine the oil and spices. Drizzle the spice mixture over the chicken and toss to coat.

Bake uncovered for 25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Serve with warm tortillas.

  1. One of my friends once told me that when she was a little girl, she wanted to be friends with this girl because she always smelled like hamburgers. She thought it must be the best thing in the world to always get to smell like hamburgers. It wasn't until years later that she realized that the girl just had really bad BO.
