A Sheet-Pan Dinner Favorite
This recipe for Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas is so simple to put together and delcious to eat.
Start with slicing chicken and vegetables. Mix in olive oil seasoned with “Tex-Mex” seasonings. Pop the pan into the oven and dinner is ready in no time. Cleanup is easy too!
The chicken and vegetables come out of the oven beautifully seasoned and ready for all of my favorite toppings. But I’ve been known to add a couple more shakes of salt because I often skip salty Cheddar cheese. So taste the chicken before loading up your tortilla to get it to seasoned to your liking.
Top the fajitas with your favorite fixins’–Guacamole, Fresh Salsa and sharp cheddar cheese. I especially like using Creamy Garlicky Dipping Sauce on fajitas. I like it better than sour cream because it adds a light tangy lime flavor. I love it with any Tex-Mex dish–tacos, enchiladas. It also tastes great as a dip with fresh sliced vegetables or chips.
