Sheet Pan Fajitas Recipe Tips:
+ This is such a great recipe for meal prep. If you’re planning on eating as lettuce wraps, we’d recommend storing the lettuce separate. If you’re eating it as a salad, you can store it all together. Just hold off on mixing in your sour cream and avocado for the dressing.
+ To save a little bit of time, you could easily swap in store bought taco seasoning for the spice blend.
