Fajitas are delicious. Sheet pan meals are simple. Why not make a delicious, simple meal tonight?
Traditionally, fajitas are a mixture of seasoned meat, peppers and onions. But I say don't stop there. ADD in more deliciousness!
I suggest canned (and drained) diced tomatoes and corn as well as crumbled spinach leaves. And if you want to save time and tears, use frozen onion. Frozen spinach is fast too. I always keep a bag of fresh spinach leaves in the freezer. You can crumble by hand, eliminating the need to chop.
Don't have fajita seasoning? I don't either! Use your favorite taco seasoning.
Bake fajita mixture and serve on mini tortillas, in a wrap or on rice. So much flavor and quite possibly my favorite shortcut to a healthier meal.
I've mixed up this recipe or variations of this recipe into ziploc bags and gifted friends for a new baby. Create a special care box with fajitas mixture, baking instructions, tortillas, cheese and a special drink or dessert. Such an easy and loving way to celebrate a friendship.
