Sheet pan recipes are my absolute favorite when it comes to meal prepping.  They are simple one pan recipes that make meal prepping (and clean up) quick and easy. This sheet pan recipe in particular includes seasoned fajita chicken with vegetables roasted in the oven and served with warm flour tortillas. You can mix and match with whatever toppings you like. I hope you enjoy!
