Back-to-School season is upon us! 

The hectic days of summer sports, camps, vacations, and “no-rules-summer-nights” are fading away just as the busy back-to-school season begins. 

For many of us, that means we need one thing: easy dinners! 

It doesn’t get much easier than a sheet pan dinner, and fajitas tend to be pretty family-friendly. Even if you have a few family members who don’t like the actual fajitas, you can often serve up all the sides and still have a pretty content family meal. (If you are interested in some helpful tips and suggestions on feeding your family, check out these articles, part 1 and part 2).

This recipe uses homemade taco seasoning, chicken thighs, and your standard fajita veggies (peppers and onions). You can also make these with steak, shrimp, or salmon and it would be equally delicious! This is a GERD-friendly recipe, high in protein, and full of Vitamin C. 

Adding toppings is a great opportunity for added nutrition.

I like to serve mine up with flour or corn tortillas, avocado, yogurt, and loads of lime juice. If you find that the spice blend is bothersome, you can leave out the garlic powder and adjust the other spices to your liking. If the spices are too overwhelming altogether, you can season with salt, pepper, olive oil, and lime juice – it will still be delicious and best of all, fast!

In addition to coming together and cooking quickly, I also love this recipe because there are almost zero cleanups. You’ll need a gallon-sized bag, measuring spoons, and a sheet pan. For even faster clean-up, line your sheet pan with parchment paper. That’s about it!
