02 - 1 large red onion, peeled and sliced into half-moons
03 - 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons

05 - 7 oz feta cheese, crumbled
→ Seasonings
06 - 2 tbsp olive oil
07 - 2 tbsp Tajin seasoning
08 - 1 tsp smoked paprika
09 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder

→ To Serve
11 - 8 small flour or corn tortillas
12 - 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
13 - 1 lime, cut into wedges
14 - Sour cream and avocado slices (optional)
# Method:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
02 - Spread the sliced bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, and halved cherry tomatoes evenly across the prepared sheet pan.
03 - Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables. Sprinkle with Tajin seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until all vegetables are evenly coated.
04 - Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 15 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften and develop light char marks.
05 - Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled feta evenly over the roasted vegetables. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until the feta softens and begins to brown slightly on the edges.
06 - While the vegetables finish roasting, warm the tortillas either wrapped in foil in the oven or heated one at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat.
07 - Spoon the roasted vegetables and melted feta into the warm tortillas. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and a generous squeeze of lime juice. Add sour cream and avocado slices if desired. Serve immediately.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- Sheet pan means almost zero cleanup, which is a lifesaver on busy weeknights when even loading the dishwasher feels ambitious.
- The Tajin and feta combination is a unexpected pairing that will have everyone asking what your secret ingredient is.
02 -
- Do not crowd the pan or the vegetables will steam instead of roast, leaving you with soggy fajitas and a sad kitchen vibe.
- Keep an eye on the feta during those final five minutes because it can go from perfectly golden to burnt in what feels like seconds.
03 -
- Toss the vegetables with your hands instead of a spoon so you can feel when every piece is evenly coated with oil and spices.
- Let the sheet pan preheat in the oven for a few minutes before adding the vegetables for an extra sizzle on contact that mimics grill marks.
