Instructions

- Spread the mixture across the sheet pan in a single even layer.

- Remove from the oven and finish with chopped cilantro and an extra squeeze of lime if desired.

Notes
- Do not overcrowd the tray, or the ingredients may steam instead of roast.
- Chicken thighs can be used instead of chicken breast for a juicier result.
- The filling keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Serve with avocado, salsa, sour cream, or shredded lettuce for extra flavor and texture.
