Substitution Suggestions:
- Chicken Breasts: you can also use thinly sliced boneless and skinless chicken thighs.
- Bell Peppers: You can use any color of bell peppers you like. Even the little mini sweet peppers will work.
- Red Onion: I like red onion best when roasted, but you can use yellow or white too. Shallots are a good option as well.
- Taco Seasoning: I make homemade taco seasoning, but if you use the store bought kind that will work. I do reccomend making it yourself though, the flavor is so much better.
- Olive Oil: Avocado, vegetable, or canola oil can be substituted.
How to Make Sheet Pan Fajitas
- In a large bowl or zip top bag combine the sliced peppers and onion. Sprinkle them with 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning, ½ teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Give it a good shake or toss until they are all evenly coated.
- Place the peppers and onions in a single layer on 2 parchment lined and greased rimmed baking sheets.
- In the same bag or bowl, combine the sliced chicken with the remaining taco seasoning, salt and olive oil. Toss or shake to evenly coat all the chicken pieces.
- Arrange the chicken on the baking sheets with the peppers and onions.
- Roast in a preheated 400°F oven for 20-25 minutes, rotating and flipping the chicken and veggies half way through cooking.
- During the last 5 minutes of cooking, wrap the tortillas in foil and add them to the oven to warm up.
- Drizzle lime juice over chicken and veggies.
- Serve with warm tortillas, cilantro, lime wedges, sour cream, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, guacamole, salsa or pica de gallo.
