Healthy 20 Minute Chili Lime Sheet Pan Chicken Fajita Recipe

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.
