Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
2
In a large bowl, combine the sliced chicken sausage, bell pepper strips, and red onion wedges. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with fajita seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure all ingredients are coated.
3
Spread the seasoned sausage and vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure not to overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary for even roasting.
4
Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly charred, and the chicken sausage is heated through and lightly browned.
5
While the fajitas are roasting, warm your tortillas according to package directions (microwave, oven, or stovetop).
6
Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Serve the chicken sausage and pepper mixture immediately with warm tortillas and your favorite fajita toppings like salsa, guacamole, sour cream, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use other vegetables?

Absolutely! Zucchini, yellow squash, or even corn kernels (added in the last 10 minutes) would be delicious additions. Just ensure they are cut to similar sizes for even cooking.

How can I make this spicier?

To add more heat, include a sliced jalapeño or serrano pepper with the vegetables, or sprinkle in some red pepper flakes along with the fajita seasoning. A dash of hot sauce at serving is also an option.

Can I prepare this ahead of time?

You can slice the vegetables and chicken sausage and mix them with the olive oil and seasoning a day in advance. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator, then spread on the sheet pan and roast when ready.
