Traditionally, fajitas are made in a sizzling hot cast iron griddle, but busy weeknights call for quick cooking, easy-to-clean-up meals. Thats why sheet pan recipes are brilliant. Its an easy, efficient way to prepare everything you need for a meal on one pan and it's especially perfect for making fajitas. Taco seasoning is a powerhouse, transforming humble ingredients like bell peppers, onions, and chicken breasts into a satisfying, flavorful filling to wrap in warm tortillas. Store-bought taco seasoning is easy and convenient or make your own for a fun weekend pantry project. Choose a colorful mix of peppers for some flair and added flavor. The peppers and onions need a head start to ensure theyre tender enough, so get them roasting in the oven while you slice the chicken into strips. Halfway through, the chicken gets added to the pan (you could swap in beef or pork here, or use all veggies for a vegetarian spin). For these sheet pan chicken fajitas, the only extra prep is heating tortillas on the stovetop, an easy task while your oven does the heavy lifting (and something kids can help do, too). A quick homemade cremasour cream thinned with a bit of water (or lime juice) for a citrusy twist, and seasoned with saltadds a refreshing finishing touch to drizzle on top before you dive in to dinner.
