Instructions

1
In a large bowl or on a sheet pan, combine the cubed chicken thighs with half of the fajita seasoning mix (salt, garlic powder, oregano, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, coriander), olive oil, and lime juice.
2
Mix with your hands until the chicken is fully coated. Set aside.
3
On a large sheet pan lined with parchment paper, combine the chopped onions and bell peppers.
4
Sprinkle the remaining fajita seasoning mix over the vegetables and spray with olive oil spray. Mix until well coated.
5
Roast the vegetables in a preheated oven at 190°C / 380°F for 20 minutes.
6
Remove the pan from the oven and spread the seasoned chicken evenly over the roasted vegetables.
7
Spray the top with more cooking spray and bake at 200°C / 400°F for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and crispy golden brown.
8
Remove the pan from the oven. Top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese, diced fresh tomatoes, and chopped cilantro.
9
Mix everything together on the pan until the cheese is melted and fully combined.
10
For extra crispiness, top with a light layer of extra cheese and broil for 2-3 minutes until bubbly and golden.
11
Serve the chicken and vegetable mixture on warm low-carb tortillas.
12
Drizzle with spicy sauce if desired, fold, and enjoy.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Pat chicken thighs dry before seasoning to promote browning and crispy edges on the sheet pan.
Toss vegetables separately or place on a cooler part of the pan so they don't overcook before the chicken reaches 165°F.
Lime juice should be added after roasting to brighten flavors without cooking off its brightness.
Let the sheet pan rest 5 minutes after roasting to allow cheese to set and chicken to retain juices.

Substitutions

Boneless, skinless chicken thighs → boneless, skinless chicken breasts (reduce cooking time by 5–10 minutes)
Low-carb tortillas → large spinach wraps or whole wheat tortillas (adjust macros accordingly)
Smoked paprika → regular paprika or chili powder (flavor will be less smoky)
Lime → lemon juice (similar acidity; use same amount)

Storage & make-ahead

Store cooled wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; reheat wrapped in foil at 350°F for 8–10 minutes.

Common Questions

Can I use chicken breasts instead of thighs?

Yes, but thighs stay juicier when roasted. If using breasts, reduce cooking time by 5–10 minutes and monitor closely to avoid drying out.

What low-carb tortillas work best?

Allulose-sweetened or fiber-based tortillas hold up best. Avoid corn tortillas as they may tear; flour or spinach wraps are good alternatives.

How do I know when the chicken is done?

Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part. Thighs may take 25–30 minutes depending on thickness.

Can I prep this ahead?

Season and cut chicken and vegetables the night before. Assemble wraps up to 1 day ahead; store wrapped in parchment in an airtight container and reheat gently.
