How to make it

Preheat oven to 375ºF

In a small bowl, mix the seasonings together, if using.

In a large bowl, toss the bell peppers and onion with 1 tablespoon olive oil and half of the seasoning packet or homemade seasoning mix. Spread in a single layer on a sheet pan. Bake 10 minutes.

While the peppers and onions are cooking, add the shrimp to the same pepper/onion mixing bowl. Add the remaining oil and seasoning packet and toss together until well coated.

After the peppers and onion have been cooking for 10 minutes, remove from the oven and add the shrimp to the sheet pan. (Or use a second sheet pan.) Ensure the shrimp are in a single layer. Bake another 10 minutes, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

Wrap the tortillas in foil and put them in the oven during the last couple of minutes of cooking time to warm them.

Squeeze the lime juice over the shrimp and veggies after cooking. Serve in tortillas with your favorite toppings.

Tips & Tricks

  • Try with with chicken or steak! Cut chicken into strips, toss in the oil and seasonings, bake at 350ºF for 20-25 minutes. I love flank steak for fajitas. Cut the steak into strips. Toss steak in the seasoning and oil, bake for 5-10 minutes. Thin flank steak cooks quickly!
  • Make a large batch of the fajita seasoning and store it for future use so you’ll always have it on hand. From a large batch use 2-3 tablespoons of the seasoning mix. Amazing for tacos too!
  • Use flour tortillas or corn tortillas. I like to wrap them in foil and throw them in the oven for a couple of minutes to warm them. Or char them on a grill or hot pan. Try lettuce wraps for a low carb option. Or serve in fajita bowls over rice.
