The Best Sheet Pan Fajitas
When I discovered how easy it is to make these delicious sheet pan fajitas, I realized it was so much better to prepare them than to order delivery or take out. You only need minimal prepping, clean up is a breeze, and there are no leftovers. That’s why I call this the best sheet pan fajitas recipe!
We’re huge fans of Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine and my kids will always devour tacos, guacamole or fajitas. They are fun to assemble and so flavorful that you can’t go wrong. These sheet pan fajitas are perfect for Taco Tuesday, Cinco de Mayo or any night you want a delicious meal. If you are on a low carb diet, you can skip the tortillas and just make a bowl out of this recipe. 
Another great gluten-free option? Use chilled iceberg lettuce leaves instead of tortillas to make your own “taco”; my husband loves this and it’s super easy to serve.
Can I just use one sheet pan to make these fajitas?
Yes! You can also make the process even easier combining the chicken and beef with the peppers and onions. If you do cook everything together for 30 minutes, the peppers and onions will be darker than in my pictures, but the result is delicious.
In my family the kids prefer to avoid peppers, so I cook them in a separate sheet pan. If you have picky eaters, like I do, keeping everything separate allows for more options and less complaints.
