Sheet Pan Fajitas

Life has been pretty busy in the Brooks household lately with us getting ready to move across the world and school starting back very soon.

I have been blogging like crazy lately, so I am all for the the easy meals.

This sheet pan fajita meal is one of those that is perfect for weeknights or when you just flat out do not feel like cooking a high-production meal.
