Simplify prep and clean up with these sheet pan chicken fajitas, which are ready in a flash! They're great for all kinds of diets!
Let the oven do all of the work for these chicken fajitas. All you need is one pan and about 20 minutes to have a healthy and wholesome meal prep ready for the entire week! No takeout is needed; this dish is way better. Plus, it makes your Sunday meal prep easy-peasy. Cook once, eat four times—so much wisdom in this! And we are all about finding sheet pan recipes that work great during the week. (Try these Sheet Pan Salmon Fajitas next!)
This recipe is great for those following a low-carb diet. You can serve as is or with keto tortillas. It's also paleo-friendly, gluten-free, dairy-free, and Whole30 compliant! Our only recommendation? Say, "Yes, I'll take the guacamole, please." Because we all know that avocados are life, no matter what kind of dietary plan you're following.
Who wouldn't want to eat fajitas for lunch all week? Or dinner! Here's what you need:
This couldn't be easier. Slice everything up and toss it with taco seasoning and olive oil. Then, load it onto the sheet pan, which you've also greased with a little bit of oil, and bake for less than a half an hour. It's really that quick. Clean-up is a snap because you're basically only washing a knife, a cutting board and, once the meal is prepped or served, the sheet pan. Seriously.
Granted, we like this for a weeknight meal for all the aforementioned reasons. But there's no reason why you can't double or triple this (get more sheet pans, you'll need 'em!) recipe and serve it for a party. Put out all the fixins on the side so people can load up with the toppings they want, like sour cream, pico de gallo, cheddar and/or Monterey jack cheeses, chopped cilantro and, of course, guacamole. (Any kind of salsa would work, though, if you don't have pico. Skip the tortillas or opt for gluten-free or low-carb ones as needed. Or serve with regular rice or cauliflower rice.
Once they're prepped, this recipe will keep for up to 4 days in a sealed and airtight container in the fridge. Just reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop with a little bit of olive oil in the pan. You can also freeze these in an airtight zip-close plastic bag. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator and then reheat as directed. This kind of meal prep takes well to the freezer.

Loved this recipe but I would like to know the macros for this meal, or at least the total calories at a bare minimum.
Hi Andrew - We are so happy you enjoyed the recipe. Unfortunately, we did not calculate out the nutritional profile for this
the recipe, however, you can easily add it to your food tracker such as MyFitnessPal to get the full nutrient breakdown based
on the specific ingredients, you use.
By my calculations the ENTIRE recipe is around 1,000 cals and 26 NET carbs
I love this recipe...so easy and makes meal prep easy. Makes rice bowls, salads and tacos...we love it.
Thanks, Marcia! We are so happy that you love it!
So excited to try this! What temperature do I bake it at?
The recipe indicates 400 degrees. Happy cooking!
Why was the recipe changed to “taco seasoning” instead of the list of spices? It was our favorite combination of spices. Now I have to scoure the internet for a new combination and, so far, none of them quite do it for us. 😩
Hey Shawna - maybe you're thinking of the spice combo on our Shrimp Fajitas recipe? https://mealpreponfleek.com/sheet-pan-shrimp-fajitas/
