Sheet Pan Fajita Chicken

Hi guys – it’s Deb stopping by again from Bowl Me Over. Today wanted to share with you my newest, easiest recipe: Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas!

My love of sheet pan cooking goes back about a year to short after I met Ang. She had posted a recipe for Chorizo Sheet Pan Dinner and I made it that night.

After that…. sheet pan meals became a THING at the house, so I’m excited to share this one with you!

Not a pile of dirty dishes, easy clean-up and a delicious meal. What’s not to love!

Pro Tip!

Line your sheet pan with tin foil or parchment paper for easy clean-up!

Whether you enjoy flour or corn tortillas, you’re going to love how tasty these tacos are!

Ingredients for Chicken Fajitas

  • chicken – white or dark meat, use your favorite. I prefer white meat and that’s what I used in this recipe.
  • red, green and orange bell peppers – the colored peppers are a little sweeter than the green, but you can certainly use all green if you’d prefer.
  • onion – yellow or white onion, you can even use red onion. It just has a more mild flavor
  • tortillas – corn or flour
  • fajita seasoning mix – for spicy deliciousness!
  • fresh lime – adds the perfect tang
  • olive oil – a great hearty-healthy oil

What’s the difference between taco seasoning and fajita seasoning?

Is fajita mix and taco mix the same? Actually they are quite similar and in a pinch, you can certainly use packet seasoning. If you’re looking to make your own fajita or taco mix, I have recipes for both on the blog!

Taco mix typically has more chili powder, fajita mix more earthy cumin and spicy red pepper flakes. If you mix your own, you’ll be amazed at the improvement in flavor from the packets! I hope you swing by the blog to try these recipes!
