Notes
- Make a double batch: Double the ingredients and use two sheet pans so they aren't over-crowded.
- Tortillas: I love to use corn tortillas but flour tortillas are great with this recipe. You can wrap them in foil and add them to the oven in the last 5 minutes of cooking time for nice warm tortillas. For corn tortillas, if desired, char them slightly over a gas flame burner using tongs.
- Nutrition information is for two fajitas in corn tortillas, and does not include toppings.
