Tips

If You don’t have Southwestern Seasoning, use 1 teaspoon chili powder, ½ teaspoon each cumin, garlic powder, salt, and paprika. Fajita season or taco seasoning also work.
I use organic flour tortillas for the family, and gluten free organic corn tortillas for myself.

Variations for Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas:

Cut a zucchini and yellow squash into matchsticks and toss with a tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle with salt. Add to the Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas in the last five minutes of cooking.
For a little more heat, add in ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper to the marinade.
Serve with Avocado Cream or Bacon Guacamole.
Instead of serving with cheddar cheese, serve with crumbled quasi fresco or grated Monterey Jack Cheese
