Notes
Serve with extra lime juice use on fajitas.
Add some ground cinnamon to the sour cream for an extra kick.
Sprinkle with cilantro to taste.
If serving these to kids, you can soak the onions in cold water for a bit--this takes a bit of the "bite" out of them.

Store baked chicken fajitas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
