Chicken Sheet Pan Fajitas + How To Video
Looking for a quick and easy no fuss meal, this chicken sheet pan fajitas will fit the bill!
If you’re like me, you may find yourself looking for easy, simple recipes that come together quickly. While I enjoy cooking, during the week, I try to limit my time in the kitchen to enjoy doing other activities. That’s why I love easy sheet pan dinners. It’s extremely convenient and doesn’t require much brain power to pull off.
WHAT DOES CHICKEN SHEET PAN FAJITAS TASTE LIKE?
The only thing missing is the smoke billowing in your face when you order these from your favorite Mexican restaurant. These have the same deep flavor profile thanks to the mix of spices used on the chicken. They have just the right amount of kick at the end with the jalapeño but the shallot and lime helps balance out the flavors. Of course, if you love spice, you can add more jalapeños or even add pickled jalapeños.
WHY DO I LOVE THESE SHEET PAN FAJITAS
I love any sheet pan dinners because of their flexibility and ease of putting a dish together. If you tried my shrimp enchilada bowl recipe, then you know I absolutely love Tex-Mex flavors. This dish is another way for me to get those similar flavors but enjoy in a healthy way. We swap out traditional refried beans for black beans and Mexican rice for more wholesome jasmine rice.
WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED?
I’ll admit the ingredients list LOOKS long, but I promise most of these spices you already have in your spice cabinet. I’m also sure you have some peppers on hand that may need to be used in the next few days before they have to be tossed completely.
