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.
