How is everyone doing? I know it seems like yesterday, but I’m back again sharing my favorites of the week along with my friends Mary Ann and Cindy. One of my favorites this week is a recipe for fajitas that are easy and they don’t make a huge mess like those other fajitas I used to make all the time.
The easiest recipe for fajitas
Make fajitas on a sheet pan and there’s no mess!
PrintSheet Pan Fajitas
I love fajitas, but making them stovetop creates a huge mess, so I started making them on a sheet pan lined with foil and I’ll never go back!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3–4 Bell Peppers, halved, stemmed and seeded
- 1 large yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast
- Juice of 1 lime, plus lime wedges, for serving or lime vitality oil
- 12 corn tortillas, warmed
- Cotija cheese, avocado, thinly sliced radishes and marinated red onions for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler to high heat. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Combine the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Put the peppers and onions on the prepared baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil, and season with half the chili powder mixture. Broil until softened and starting to char about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the chicken into 1/4-inch-thick slices and toss in a large bowl with the remaining chili powder mixture and the remaining olive oil.
- After the peppers are softened and starting to char, about 10 minutes, add the chicken on top of the peppers and onions and return the baking sheet to the broiler until the chicken is cooked through and starting to brown, about 5 minutes more. Drizzle with the lime juice.
Notes
The leftover makes a wonderful filling for quesadillas with melty cheese as shredded Monterey Jack and served with salsa or guacamole.
The New Lustre Diffuser
I love diffusing and I keep adding new diffusers. I used to burn candles all over the house, so it makes sense (at least to me) that I have diffusers going throughout the house. I’m currently loving all the citrus essential oils, like Citrus Fresh. It’s happiness in a bottle. The new Lustre diffuser is hand-blown white glass. I have it sitting on a small trivet that I found at Terrain last week. You know how much I like the collected look. Email me if you want to know more about diffusing or essential oils. Annie@mostlovelythings.com. You can read more about why we made the switch from candles to diffusers in this post.
Kabinett & Kammer
I’m not sure how I came across the shop and author, Sean Scherer, but every time I scroll to one of his images in my feed, it stops me in my tracks. Sean’s shop is in Franklin, New York, a charming town in the Catskills with a population of 374. I’m so intrigued by this shop that I’ve made plans with my friend Ashlyn to meet next Saturday! I met Ashlyn years ago when we first started blogging. We both lived on the west coast at the time but didn’t meet in person until last fall when we met in Hudson, New York for a little exploring.
Sean’s book, Sean Scherer’s Kabinett & Kammer: Creating Authentic Interiors is out next month.
I love an eclectic mix
Speaking of Ashlyn, she has a beautiful way of mixing modern with bohemian in her home. I shared her kitchen in this post and I am loving the changes she made on her open shelving. Follow along on her Instagram @ashlynathome and make sure to follow out the hashtag #TheCollectedLook – Ashlyn’s open shelvings have all the makings of the collected look we love!

One last thing…I Can’t include it as a favorite yet because I haven’t watched it but looking forward to the newly released movie, “Made in Italy” with Liam Neeson and his son Micheal Richardson. Have you seen it? I love a movie in a beautiful setting and this one takes place in Tuscany!
Check to see what Mary Ann and Cindy love today!

Oooh made in Italy sounds fabulous! How fun that you are meeting up with Ashlyn. I never thought about making fajitas in a sheet pan. We always grill ours. Great idea for a rainy cold day in California!
Linda Henderson says
Thanks for sharing your “5.” I really enjoy this format. I really liked looking at Sean Scherer’s designs. Wow, he is good. And thank you also for the movie recommendation. “Made in Italy” sounds like one I will want to see.
Francesca B. says
Lovely blog thank you for the wonderful things. Going to watch the movie and make the dish. My friend sells Living Oils and one day I promised myself I will get into it, but I know the starter pack is a bit out of my range right now. When I can get back to work, the entertainment business is still suffering. BUT I love the diffuser and the look and the happy vibes so one day! Signed up for the book recommendations, excellent idea, I love Lucy Foley’s crime thrillers so good!

I haven’t been on your blog in about a month and want to catch up on what I have missed (your lovely photography!). On the Home page I see the pic and the start of the blog; however, when I click on it all I see is the text – no pics. Any suggestions?
