What Is a Tray Bake Meal?

Tray bake meals eliminate the need for multiple dishes, pots and pans. Place all your ingredients on a baking sheet and bake everything together in the oven on one sheet. The prep and cleanup are simple.

What Can I Use In Place Of Fajita Seasoning?

Fajita seasoning is typically made with a blend of chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, dried oregano, salt, cayenne, and ground pepper. You can make your own blend by mixing together a teaspoon of each spice, with the ground pepper, salt and cayenne being about 1/4 teaspoon each.
