• You may want to include green bell peppers or use whatever you have on hand.
• This recipe is easily adaptable. Use your favorite vegetables
• Additionally, you can change the protein if you prefer. Try using steak, just chicken, or just shrimp.
• Start off by tossing the vegetables, chicken, and shrimp with oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. If you have a favorite brand of fajita seasoning, you can use that instead.
• Spread everything into an even layer on a large rimmed sheet pan. You definitely need a pan with at least a 1-inch rim.
• Bake in preheated oven until vegetables are tender and the shrimp is no longer translucent. If you like your vegetables a little bit more tender, you can add them in a few minutes before the shrimp.
• Also, to give the shrimp and vegetables a nice char, you can broil for the last 2 minutes.
• Serve with heated tortillas, lime juice, sour cream, sliced avocado or guacamole, and chopped cilantro.For a low carb version, serve with these low carb tortillas, wrapped in lettuce, or over cauliflower rice.
• Sheet pan meals are a favorite of mine. Everything cooks on one pan and you can’t beat the easy cleanup.
