I like to make this dinner on nights when we have a lot of after school activities because it's a protein packed meal that my kids love eating. Their favorite part is being able to pick their own toppings and make the fajitas exactly how they want them.

What are the benefits of a sheet pan meal?
There are many benefits when it comes to sheet pan meals.
The biggest benefit is how easy they are to put together. The entire meal is made on one sheet pan, so you don't have to worry about timing everything just right.
Another benefit is that clean up is very easy. Since it's all on one pan you only have to wash the one pan instead of multiple.

Make it a Meal
I like to make Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas as the main course and serve it with a few of my family's favorite sides.
Here is our meal plan when we have this for dinner:
Starch Side: Mexican Rice
Vegetable: Ejotes a la Mexicana (Mexican Green Beans)
Dessert: Carlota De Limon (Mexican Ice Box Cake)
We also love to have a lot of options for toppings! Our favorites include tortillas, avocado, sour cream, cilantro, cheese, and homemade salsa.
How to Store Leftovers
If you have any leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge.
I recommend storing the chicken fajita mix and toppings separately to avoid anything getting mushy.
To reheat, microwave for 1-2 minutes until completely warmed through and then top with your favorite toppings!
