Preheat the oven to 450°F and place an empty sheet pan inside to heat up.

Measure out 1/4 cup of avocado oil and 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice.

Add 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar and 2 tablespoons of dijon mustard to the marinade.

Mince 4 garlic cloves using a garlic press and add to the marinade.

Whisk the marinade ingredients together until well combined.

Slice 3 bell peppers and 1 whole white onion into strips, ensuring they are not too thin.

Cut 2 lbs of boneless chicken thighs against the grain into strips, ensuring they are similar in size to the bell peppers.

Let the chicken sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before cooking.

Combine the chicken, bell peppers, and onion in a bowl and pour the marinade over them, mixing well to coat.

Carefully remove the hot sheet pan from the oven and layer the chicken and vegetable mixture in a single layer on the pan.

Return the sheet pan to the oven and cook for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and juices are released.

Tilt the pan over a saucepan to release the juices from the fajitas.

Return the fajitas to the oven, set to broil on high for 10 minutes to achieve a nice char.

Check the internal temperature of the chicken, ensuring it reaches 171-180°F for safe consumption.

Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the fajitas and optionally squeeze lime juice over them.

Serve the fajitas with optional sides like fries, rice, or salad.
