Make restaurant-style steak fajitas with minimal cleanup using this easy sheet pan method. Juicy steak, peppers, and onions roast together for a flavorful Tex-Mex dinner ready fast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs skirt steak or flank steak, sliced against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Warm tortillas, for serving
  • Fajita toppings (salsa, sour cream, avocado, cilantro), for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper to create the seasoning blend.
  3. Place the sliced steak, red pepper, green pepper, and onion onto the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Drizzle the olive oil and lime juice over the steak and vegetables. Sprinkle the seasoning blend evenly over everything.
  5. Use your hands to toss everything together directly on the sheet pan until the steak and vegetables are fully coated in the spices and oil. Spread the mixture into a single layer.
  6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the steak is cooked to your preference and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  7. Remove the pan from the oven. Serve the sizzling steak fajitas immediately with warm tortillas and your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For the most tender steak, slice it thinly against the grain after it rests briefly post-cooking.
  • If you prefer a more intense flavor, you can marinate the steak slices in half of the seasoning mix and 1 tablespoon of lime juice for 30 minutes before adding the vegetables to the pan.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep; store the cooked mixture and tortillas separately.
