Lightly grease a large sheet pan with 1 tbsp avocado oil. Spread the onion and bell pepper out on the sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tbsp avocado oil and lightly sprinkle garlic, salt and pepper over everything. Toss to coat. Next, nestle the chicken pieces in with the veggies in the sheet pan.

While the fajitas are cooking, prepare lettuce leaves for shells and toppings as noted. Once the fajitas are cooked, remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.
