  • pico de gallo
  • 2 oz shredded cheese

Directions:

  1. 🔪Veg, Chicken, and Shrimp Prep (all of this can be done up to 3 days before cooking).
    1. Thinly slice onion.
    2. Thinly slice bell peppers.
    3. Slice chicken thighs into strips.
    4. Thaw shrimp over night.
    5. Optional, remove tails from the shrimp once thawed.
  2. Prep for Roasting
    1. Preheat oven to broil and place the oven rack to the middle level.
    2. Prepare a large sheet pan with tinfoil and a good spray of non-stick cooking spray or rub with oil.
    3. In a large bowl, combine onion, bell pepper, olive oil, taco powder just to cover, and salt if your taco powder does not have salt in it.
    4. In another large bowl combine the chicken strips with oil and taco powder just to cover, and salt if your taco powder does not have salt in it.
  3. Roast
    1. Spread seasoned veggies over the pan and broil for about 5-8 minutes or until veggies are soft and a bit browned.
    2. Place shrimp in the now empty veggie bowl and combine with oil and taco powder just to cover, and salt if your taco powder does not have salt in it.
    3. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and evenly lay the seasoned chicken and shrimp over the veggies.
    4. Place the sheet pan back under the broiler and roast for another 5-8 minutes or until chicken and shrimp are cooked through.
  4. Serve
    1. Squeeze juice from a fresh lime over fajita mixture and top with fresh cilantro.
    2. Serve in warmed tortillas topped with avocado or guacamole, cheese, and pico de gallo.

Reheat Options
