Total time: 35 min • Prep: 15 min • Cook: 20 min • Serves: 4 • Difficulty: Easy
Just like when you make fajitas on the stovetop, when you cook the dish in the oven, you must start with a hot tray. You need to hear that sizzle when the meat and veggies hit the metal. That’s why we place the baking tray in the oven as it preheats. Enjoy this as is or spoon it into tortillas. Try serving with a homemade salsa on the side for extra zing and extra veg.
