Sheet Pans
Utilize a robust, rimmed sheet pan measuring 11×17 or 13×18 inches for optimal results. By allowing your chicken and vegetables ample space to roast, you prevent steam from building up and ensure a perfectly cooked dish. Using a smaller pan, such as a 9×13 inch one, can lead to overcrowding of ingredients, resulting in soggy vegetables. When using a smaller pan, consider dividing the ingredients between two pans to guarantee even roasting results.
Warming Tortillas
The standard choice for fajitas is usually 6-inch flour tortillas, ideal for comfortably accommodating a generous serving of savory fillings. For optimal results, it’s recommended to gradually heat them beforehand to achieve the perfect texture when serving.
In a small skillet, cook tortillas over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds on each side, rendering them supple and developing a subtle char.
Stack them between damp paper towels, then microwave in 20-second increments until thoroughly warmed.
Wrap a stack of tortillas tightly in aluminum foil, ensuring they are evenly aligned and not overlapping, then place the package in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes to warm them through.
Storage & Reheating Instructions
Stored leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
On a medium-low heat setting on the stovetop, gently simmer and stir the mixture periodically as it warms thoroughly.
By positioning leftover contents within a microwave-safe container, heat in 30-second intervals, manually stirring between each interval to ensure uniform heating, until the desired temperature is achieved.
