Sheet Pan Fajitas

view all recipes


One of my very favorite easy dinner ideas is fajitas. Everyone loves this meal, and it’s easy to customize according to your tastes and diet. I love making it as either fajitas with tortillas, or a Fajita Salad served over greens.

Flex Dinner: You can make this recipe two ways: Veggie or or Shrimp! The vegan version is a great way to make a fun healthy dinner where no one notices there’s no meat! Or the shrimp version is just as tasty. They’re both easy to whip up on a sheet pan.
