Sheet pan makes cleanup quick and easy
Sheet pan dinners are all the rage, and for good reasons. Everything cooks in one pan for easy preparation and cleanup. For this quick dinner, the shrimp, onions and peppers all cook at the same time on a foil-lined baking sheet for even easier cleanup. The tortillas can warm for a few minutes on a lower shelf in the same oven. Serve the sheet pan at the table and let people fill their own tortillas or fill the tortillas as soon as the shrimp and vegetables are ready.
