Sheet Pan Vegetable and Bean Fajitas
with orange and baby spinach salad

Active: 30 min Total: 50 min
We love the trend of “sheet pan suppers” in which all of the components roast together on a single sheet pan. Using a marinade for the beans and the oven to cook fajita fillings means you’ll build flavor without a lot of hands-on work.
