These Easy Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas are a quick delicious meal to make if you are in a hurry or need to feed a crowd. Whether for your family or guests, they are sure to be a hit.
Anyone who knows me knows that Mexican food is my all-time favorite thing to eat. If eating it for dinner 6 nights a week was an option, that would be great. Throw in a pizza on the seventh night and you will have a happy woman.
One of our kids came in and told me the other night, that we are getting a new Mexican restaurant and cantina in town. So exciting. After living in San Diego for 10 years , we were used to having an abundance of Mexican restaurants nearby. Now living in Cincinnati they are few and far between.
If going out to eat at a Mexican restaurant we usually eat enchiladas and rice and beans. Along with 2 baskets of chips and salsa and 2 or 3 margaritas. As we all know ends up resulting in - 3000 or 4000 calories. Fajitas are a little healthier and so versatile, they can be used on salads, in tortillas or just on a plate. Recently we have been skipping the rice and beans and chips. Also, try to go for a skinny margarita.
