Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning blend
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh garlic
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound flank or sirloin steak, cut into ½-inch strips
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 bell peppers, sliced into thin strips any color
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
For Serving:
  • Soft tortillas
  • Your favorite salsa
  • Fresh cilantro leaves

Method
 

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
  1. First things first, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This step is essential to ensure that everything roasts properly. While the oven gets nice and hot, you can prepare your ingredients.
Step 2: Prepare Your Ingredients
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the taco seasoning, chopped garlic, and smoked paprika. Add the olive oil and mix well. This mixture is going to be your marinade.
    Toss in the steak strips and ensure they are well coated. While that marinates, slice your onion and bell peppers into thin strips. You want everything to cook evenly.
Step 3: Assemble on the Sheet Pan
  1. On a large sheet pan, place the marinated steak strips in the center. Spread the sliced onions and bell peppers around the meat. Ensure that they are in a single layer. This will help everything roast evenly.
Step 4: Roast It All
  1. Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven. Roast for about 20-25 minutes, until the steak is cooked to your liking and the vegetables are tender and caramelized. You may want to toss everything halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
  1. Once done, take the pan out and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top, then serve everything with warm tortillas, salsa, and cilantro. Dig in and enjoy!

Notes

  • Choose the Right Cut of Meat: Opt for flank steak or sirloin. These cuts are tender and work wonderfully for fajitas.
  • Marinate for Flavor: If you have time, marinate the steak for a couple of hours or overnight. The flavors will deepen.
  • Cut Veggies Thin: Thin strips of bell peppers and onions cook faster and blend well with the steak.
  • Use a Hot Oven: A hot oven ensures that the veggies caramelize instead of steam. This gives you the desired texture.
  • Add Toppings: Don’t skimp on toppings! Sliced avocado or cheese can elevate your fajitas to another level.
