Skip the Mexican restaurant this year and make these Easy Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas at home. They are SO simple to toss together and will make all the #tacotuesdays a fiesta even on the busiest of weeks!
I've got one of my family's favorite weeknight dinners for you guys today. I mean, it is Taco Tuesday, after all. In all seriousness, this is one of the easiest dinners to throw together, and it can be customized to fit even the pickiest of eaters in your house.
What makes this meal even better, other than taste because hello, that's a big deal at least it should be. It's that this whole meal comes together on one pan, which makes for fewer dishes to clean up after. I mean, what parent is begging for more dishes to do during the week with everything else we have going on, right?
Mix it up!
What I love about this recipe is how versatile it is. Don’t like certain color peppers or only have one on hand? Use your favorite. I always keep the bags of mixed peppers and onions in my freezer to be able to whip this up even when I don’t have fresh ones on hand.

My Favorite Mexican Seasoning Blend
-
- 2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 2 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried Shallots
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried Mexican Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried Cilantro
- ½ - 1 teaspoon Dried Jalapeno Pepper (depending on heat level desired)
- 1 teaspoon Chipolte Pepper
- ½ teaspoon Salt
Mix everything together and store in an airtight container. Use how you would use any taco seasoning.
My Favorite Toppings/ Fixings
- Classic Guacamole
- Better than Restaurant Salsa
- Easy Homemade Queso
- Siete Dairy-Free Queso (for those wanting dairy-free)
- Cheddar Cheese
- Avocado
- Lettuce
- Tomatoes
- Cilantro
- Sour Cream (I like either Green Valley Creamery or Kite Hill for dairy-free versions)
- Hot Sauce (My preferred one is the traditional one from Siete Brand.)
Who else thinks going gluten or grain-free means we have to skip the tortilla on a #tacotuesday? I promise you don't have to anymore; here are a few of my favorite options.
Tortilla Options
- Corn Tortillas (If you can handle them)
- Grain-free tortillas I prefer the Siete Brand. They have several different varieties that are all grain-free, but some of them do have nuts. My personal favorite ones are the cassava flour ones when I want more of a flour tortilla flavor and the almond flour ones when I want a little more of the corn tortilla texture.
- Lettuce Wraps
Of course if you really wanted you just eat this straight from the pan. I know I am totally guilty of it!
