Chicken Fajitas + Pico de gallo + "Easy" Guacamole

I have been using this recipe from mammy2grammy for oven baked chicken fajitas for a while, with some modifications of course.
This recipe was for 6 servings (3 nights for me and Eric)
Guacamole is "easy" because I made pico already, didn't need to add jalapenos, onions, or tomatoes.
Served with corn tortillas (30 count = 5 tacos per night for each of us).
I also made some rice, but didn't need it, was plenty of food already.
Still make with rice
DON’T USE STREET TACOS - too small

CHICKEN FAJITAS:
Ingredients:
-chicken tenders (sliced long-ways in 2 for more tacos)
-1 can ro-tel diced tomatoes
-sliced onions (1/2 of large or 1 med white)
-sliced bell peppers (2 medium green)
-sliced jalapeno (1 medium)
-sliced garlic cloves

Chicken fajita MARINADE:
-1 lime
-2 tsp ground cumin
-2 tsp chili powder
-1/2 tsp oregano
-1/2 tsp garlic powder
-1/4 tsp jalapeno salt or sea salt
-Next time add some cayenne pepper

Directions:
1. Marinate chicken for 2-4 hours or overnight
2. Spray dish
3. Spread chopped veggies into dish
4. Chicken on top
5. Ro-tel tomatoes on top
6. Bake for 400 degrees for 20 min

PICO DE GALLO:
-1/2 white onion, chopped
-1 jalapeno, chopped
-1/8 cup lime juice (2 key limes)
-4 tomatoes (roma), chopped finely (remove juice)
-1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
-sea salt

"EASY" GUACAMOLE:
-1 avocado
-1 key lime juice
-cilantro
-garlic powder
-a little cumin
-a little jalapeno salt

Notes:
In subsequent uses, I cut chicken into cubes and pan cooked meat first with garlic (+/- serrano).  I then cooked veggies separately in pan - onion, bell peppers, hatch green chili (spicy!).  Made Mexican bowls with cilantro lime rice, chicken, veggies, pico, guacamole, and also homemade salsa made the night before.
