Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.25 ounce package fajita seasoning
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1½ cups thinly sliced sweet yellow onion
  • 2 green bell peppers, washed, dried, de-seeded and thinly sliced
  • 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced into ½ inch wide strips
  • 15 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 20 ounce package extra large flour tortillas (8 grande burrito size tortillas per package)
  • 4 cups shredded fiesta blend cheese, divided
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup guacamole
  • ½ cup pico de gallo or chunky salsa

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  2. Lightly spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. In a small bowl, combine fajita seasoning with water, stirring until blended.
  4. Heat 1½ tablespoons of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onions for 2-3 minutes until they turn opaque.
  5. Add green bell peppers to the onions and continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes until onions are translucent.
  6. Transfer veggies to a plate.
  7. In the same skillet, heat remaining oil and add chicken strips. Cook for 5-6 minutes until no longer pink.
  8. Pour the seasoning mixture over the chicken and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until well coated.
  9. Arrange six tortillas around the baking sheet, overlapping and letting them hang over the edges, leaving a gap in the center.
  10. Sprinkle 2 cups of cheese over the tortillas.
  11. Spread sautéed onions and peppers over cheese, followed by the chicken and black beans.
  12. Top with remaining cheese and cilantro.
  13. Fold tortillas towards the middle, dampen edges to seal, and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
  14. Remove the top baking sheet and bake an additional 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  15. Let rest for 2-3 minutes, then cut into slices and serve with sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo.
