Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Cut the vegetables into ½-inch thick slices and transfer them to a 9×13” baking sheet.
- Combine the salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and paprika in a bowl.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of oil over the vegetables and sprinkle ¾ of the fajita seasoning on top. Toss to coat evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the vegetables begin to become tender, about 10 minutes.
- Toss the shrimp with the remaining seasoning and 1 tablespoon of oil, then layer them on top of the vegetables.

- Serve on warm tortillas with cilantro and a squeeze lime juice over the top.
Notes
- Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in foil and placing them in the oven for the last few minutes of cooking.
- Adjust the chili powder and paprika to make the fajitas spicier or milder.
