I love fajitas. Chicken, steak, shrimp, pork, veggie....they are all delicious. One of my favorite things is the delicious char with the spices in the meat and veggies. There is so much flavor in those little bits of char, and I love it.

This particular recipe is for chicken fajitas, but you could use a different protein like steak or pork in place of the chicken. My marinade for this recipes is spice and citrus heavy, and it creates a delicious aroma as it cooks. I like to use chili powder, cumin, garlic, and lots of lime! I love the combination of the spices with the zesty citrus!

The BEST thing about this recipe, besides the yummy flavor, is the clean-up! My husband and I are active dish-washing dodgers (I mean really likes it), and for this recipe everything is cooked on a lined sheet pan making for a really easy clean-up!

I love to serve this meal with flour or corn tortilla, sour cream, and fresh cilantro!

Funny story. When I was pregnant I didn't like the smell of fajitas. I love it now, and love the taste. I went for almost 2 years before I ate fajitas! It is so funny to me because now they are one of my favorite things to eat, and I am happy they are , again, in my life and stomach.

    I can't believe how great these tasted being cooked in the oven. So succulent and there wasn't a single piece left after eating. I loved them!
