Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs flank steak or skirt steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green), sliced
  • 1 large red onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • Warm flour tortillas (for serving)
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, fresh cilantro, lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Marinade:
    In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Marinate the Steak:
    Add the sliced beef to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate while you prepare the vegetables (or refrigerate for up to 1 hour for deeper flavor).
  4. Add Vegetables:
    Add the sliced bell peppers and onions to the bowl with the steak. Toss everything together until well coated in the seasoning mixture.
  5. Spread on Sheet Pan:
    Spread the beef and vegetable mixture in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan.
  6. Bake:
    Roast in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the steak is cooked through and the vegetables are tender with slightly charred edges.
  7. Serve:
    Warm the tortillas and serve the fajitas hot, with your choice of toppings like sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, or a squeeze of lime juice.
