The quickest (easiest) sheet pan dinner! Serve with warm tortillas for a lightening fast weeknight meal. SO GOOD!
A super speedy weeknight meal all made on one sheet pan? Yes, please!
With a simple chili powder mixture using pantry ingredients (chili powder, cumin, oregano, and paprika), I have been making this at least once a week, swapping out the shrimp for my other favorite sheet pan dinner.
When ready to serve, squeeze out those fresh limes right on top and warm up those tortillas. It’s quick, fast, and oh-so-so-good.

Omg it’s so delicious 🙂
Easy & delicious!!!
Decided to throw this together to use some shrimp I had, and it’s a super easy and tasty recipe.
I probably doubled the spice mixture (#teamnomeasure) and broiled the veggies for maybe 45 seconds before tossing the shrimp in, and it turned wonderfully. Served with guac and pico.

OMG ! This is delish. Perfect seasoning. Can’t wait to try on chicken,beef, and I might try it with pork.
