Sheet Pan Fajitas

Cultural Context

Traditionally made with skirt steak, this dish has evolved to include various proteins and vegetables, making it a versatile favorite. The sheet pan method simplifies preparation and cleanup, making it ideal for busy weeknights. Today, fajitas are enjoyed worldwide, often customized with different toppings and ingredients.
