Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas

These fajitas were so easy and so delicious that I decided to add them to the recipe blog very shortly after making them for the first time.  I am trying to simplify my cooking this year and this recipe fit the bill and everyone loved them!  Bonus, they're also healthy!



Sheet Pan Fajitas

2-3 chicken breasts

2 bell peppers sliced into strips (red, yellow or orange)

1 onion sliced into strips

Place onions and peppers on the sheet pan and drizzle them with olive oil and sprinkle them with salt and pepper.

Lay the 2-3 chicken breasts on top of the onions and peppers.  Sprinkle the chicken on both sides as well as the onions and peppers with the following:

Onion Powder

Garlic Powder

Chili Powder

Taco Seasoning

Put the sheet pan in the oven at 400 degrees and cook the chicken until it reaches 165 degrees, about 25 min. Pull the pan out and cut the chicken into strips and then put them back into the peppers and onions on the pan and mix them around to make sure everything is covered in all of the flavors and spices.  Serve on top of tortillas with refried beans, cheese, guacamole, shredded lettuce, sour cream and pico de gallo .  I got the tortillas from Costco that you can make on a frying pan and they were delicious. You could also use small corn shells fried in a pan.  These fajitas taste good even without all of the toppings.  You could also just eat it all by it's self and have a low carb, delicious meal.

Salmon Tacos with Cilantro Lime Dressing

 I love Mexican food.  I'm pretty sure if I had to choose one cuisine to eat for the rest of my life it would be Mexican.  These tacos were born from necessity and my love of tacos.  My family has downsized from 6 people to 4 people as my oldest children have moved out to go to college. When I make a whole Costco Salmon, I now have enough leftovers for another meal!  Not wanting this delicious salmon to go to waste, I incorporated it into tacos the next day and everyone absolutely loved them!   Photo credit: https://www.eatyourselfskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/cilantro-lime-tacos-2.jpg Here are the ingredients for the tacos: Lemon pepper dill salmon - I make this the day before for a meal and then use the leftovers for these tacos.  Flake and fry the salmon in a frying pan on medium heat until it gets a little crispy.  You don't need to add oil because the salmon has a lot of natural oil in it.  You're just warming up the salmon,...

Rosemary Focaccia Bread

My family's favorite bread recipe!  It is so delicious, when it is cooking, the smell spreads through the house calling everyone to the kitchen.  The best part is that it's super easy to make!  That is why I put it in this blog.  Only favorite recipes are allowed in this blog, and part of being a favorite is that it isn't so painful to make again and again.  My friend Mina gave me this recipe and made it with me to show me how it's done.  I will forever be grateful for her.  She is an amazing cook and friend.   Rosemary Focaccia Bread First, Grab a large mixing bowl.  Then turn your tap on to the hottest setting and let the water get as hot it can.  Put 2 cups of hot tap water into the bowl.   Dissolve 2 Tbs. of honey into the warm water.   Add 1 Tbs. of yeast and stir it into the water/honey mixture.  Set it aside.  If you're really interested in watching the yeast grow, you can stare at it, 'cause I'm...

Kalua Pork Tacos with Pineapple Slaw

 You can't have too many tacos!  When your main dish can be made into tacos the next day, you do it!  I made my Hawaiian meal with Kalua pork, rice and pineapple slaw and reconfigured it into tacos the next day and everyone loved them! I need to take a better picture, but these had great flavor and might've been better than the original meal.                                             Kalua Pork Tacos with Pineapple Slaw Kalua Pork  - Use the leftovers and fry it in a pan until it gets crispy in places.  There is enough oil in the pork, just heat the pan up and let it crisp. Pineapple Slaw - It tastes great the day after.  I used leftovers from the night before. Corn cut off the cobb- I fried the corn in a pan and added cilantro.  It was amazing! Corn tortillas- I fry them in a little oil on high until slightly browned. Cotija or Feta cheese (...
