Sheet Pan Fajitas

When you’re looking for a meal that’s fast, fun, and flavorful, there’s nothing like fajitas. Preparing it on a sheet pan is even better; it makes cooking simple and cleanup a snap. If you’ve never made fajitas before don’t be tempted to use a nice cut of top round.  This recipe really does best with flank steak.
