Cooking & Baking Supplies

  • Baking Tray
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients  

  • 2 bell peppers, sliced
  • 1/2 large yellow onion (or 1 small onion), slivered
  • 1 15oz can chickpeas
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • sprinkle of pepper
  • 2 tortillas

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Slice the onion and bell peppers and place them in a large mixing bowl. Rinse and drain the chickpeas and remove any skins if they are coming off. Pat dry with a paper towel or dish cloth and add to a smaller mixing bowl.
  • In a small bowl, mix together spices (cumin, chili powder, paprika, oregano, salt, pepper). Brush the chickpeas with 1 tbsp of olive oil and brush the onions and peppers with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and then sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both.
  • On a large baking tray with parchment paper, spread out peppers and onions so they do not overlap on top of each other. Add the chickpeas to the baking tray next to the peppers and onions. Cook for 20 minutes then flip the peppers, onions, and chickpeas. Cook for 15 more minutes.
  • Add tortillas onto the baking pan and cook for another 4 minutes, then flip after about 2 minutes so both sides get crispy (this could be a little bit longer depending on the type of tortilla you are using).
  • Remove the baking tray from the oven, assemble the fajita and enjoy with a squeeze of lime and some sliced avocado!
