Quick and Easy Baked Chicken Fajitas

Cinco de Mayo - World Cuisine

I've been making chicken fajitas on the stove with packaged taco seasoning for years but always had so much clean up afterwards. This was not only better tasting, but also easier to clean up and way more satisfying! Serve with warm tortillas, sour cream, and shredded cheese. Taco sauce optional.
