We shared these Easy Sheet Pan Fajitas with our special sauce about a year ago on our Instagram page, but it’s time that this recipe finds a home on our blog. While it’s nice to just post recipes on Instagram because it’s quick, it’s nice to remember that Instagram or our account could be gone in a matter of seconds. And we want to make sure we have our recipes saved to the blog. It’s also nice for you to come to the blog and with a quick search, find the recipes you are looking for!
These Sheet Pan Fajitas are a crowd favorite. We love fajitas in our house. It’s always a favorite when we eat out. Katie and I make them regularly and our families both love them! We have also made them for a few different cooking clubs, and always get awesome feedback on them. I think people love them because they are simple and you can prep ahead of time, so they make the perfect week night meal!
So let’s chat about the recipe quickly. We use chicken in the recipe, but you could also use steak! Basically, this recipe takes only as long as it takes you to slice your chicken, peppers, and onions. You can do it in the morning and set aside until you’re ready to bake. But you could also prep on the weekend or even weeks in advance and freeze everything!
Just slice, add your oil and spices, bake and you’re set! The last thing I wanted to mention is our special sauce. In my opinion, sauces and topping always take a recipe to the next level! The same is true for these fajitas. You HAVE to give our special sauce a go (don’t let the sriracha scare you – it’s not that spicy). We also love to add avocado, cilantro and sometimes greens! SO good!
Ok, here is the recipe. Let us know if you’ve tried these and what you think. I bet they will become a regular staple in your weekly meal planning. Here are some of our other easy dinner ideas!
