Sheet Pan Poblano Chicken Fajitas

This dish was eaten in celebration of Cinco de Mayo. I follow Half Baked Harvest on Facebook and saw an article for her Cinco de Mayo recipes and decided on this. I think it was super good, I loved the poblano pepper. It was super simple and nice to only get one pan dirty.



Some things I did this time were:

  • I would probably use another poblano or two next time. 
  • I subbed in a red onion for the sweet onion. 
  • I only had one pepper from my forgetfulness and the sweet pepper tahini sauce. 
  • The rice didn't seem totally necessary, but was handy to have since I made a rice bowl instead of a fajita the day after. 
  • I tried making an avocado cream that I vaguely remember having at Tara and Kalin's a few years ago. I failed, used way too much sour cream and had no mayonnaise.
  • This recipe made more than 4 servings in my opinion, we had leftovers for 2 days after it.
