If you have allergies, finding delicious and safe meals can be a challenge. One solution is to cook your own food, but it can be difficult to find recipes that are both allergy-friendly and easy to prepare. That’s where a one pan fajita recipe comes in. Not only is it simple to make, but it is also a great option for those with allergies.
Fajitas are a popular Tex-Mex dish that typically includes strips of marinated meat, sautéed onions and bell peppers, and toppings such as cheese, salsa, and guacamole, all wrapped in a tortilla. However, many traditional fajita recipes contain common allergens such as wheat, dairy, and soy. By making your own one pan fajita recipe, you can easily customize it to fit your specific allergies and preferences.
Here’s a simple recipe for a one pan chicken fajita dish that is both delicious and allergy-friendly. The easy cleanup of a one pan meal is an added benefit! Depending on the size of the group you are serving you may need another sheet pan, but it is well worth the additional extra dish.
