How to Serve Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas

One of the best things about this recipe is how versatile it is! Here are a few delicious ways to enjoy your sheet pan chicken fajitas:

🌮 In Tortillas (Classic Fajitas) - Serve the chicken and veggies in warm flour or corn tortillas for a classic fajita experience. Lightly char the tortillas on a skillet for extra flavor.

🍚 In a Bowl - Make a fajita bowl with rice (like cilantro lime rice, brown rice, or even cauliflower rice). Layer with beans, corn, and your favorite toppings for a satisfying and hearty meal.

🥗 On Greens as a Salad - Looking for a lighter option? Serve the fajitas over a bed of fresh romaine, spinach, or mixed greens for a tasty and colorful fajita salad. Drizzle with salsa, ranch, or a zesty cilantro-lime dressing.

No matter how you serve it, be sure to include all of your favorite toppings including guacamole, fresh sliced avocado, shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican blend), cotija cheese, sour cream or Greek yogurt, pico de gallo, salsa, fresh cilantro, or fresh sliced jalapenos.

These toppings make it easy to personalize your fajitas for every taste—whether you're feeding kids, prepping lunches, or setting up a DIY fajita bar.
