It's no surprise around here I love a good sheet pan meal. I've got one pan greek chicken, sheet pan honey garlic shrimp and a classic sheet pan sausage and veggies.
I love them because they're so easy to make and you only have one pan and the end of it when you're ready to clean up! Easy and healthy dinner recipes are great ones in my book. And these sheet pan steak fajitas are exactly that!
All you need are some peppers, onions, steak and spices for this easy weeknight meal. Then take them to the next leve with a dollop of avocado crema.
This recipe calls for flank steak or skirt steak because you can use them interchangeably in most recipes. They're both long, flat, lean, and benefit from a marinade. Ready this flank steak substitute guide for 3 more steak options that would work well in these beef fajitas.
What kind of beef do you use for fajitas?
Traditionally steak fajitas are made with a skirt steak or flank steak, so that's what we're using here! They're long, flat, and known for their flavor! Because it's so flavorful you don't have to marinade the steak very long, only a few minutes! It's very similar to a flank steak. Because of that, you can use those cuts of beef interchangeably in this recipe, but I recommend the skirt steak if you can get it!

- 1 medium yellow onion sliced into strips

- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a large baking pan with non-stick cooking spray or foil and set aside. You may need to use two depending on how large your tray is.
- To make the seasoning, combine the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, sea salt and black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Add the sliced steak to a large gallon zip lock back. Drizzle with 1 tablespoons olive oil, juice from one lime and sprinkle with ⅔ of the fajita seasoning. Mix and shake the bag well until all the steak is coated. Let marinate in the fridge for 15 minutes or overnight.
- Spread the sliced bell peppers and onion on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and then sprinkle with the remaining fajita seasoning. Toss to coat.
- Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 15 minutes then remove from the oven and stir then push all the veggies to one side of the tray, trying to keep them in an even layer.
- Add the marinated steak in an even layer to the tray and place back in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until steak has reached your desired doneness.
- Wrap tortillas tightly in foil and warm in oven during the last 5 minutes of the fajitas cooking. I just stick them in the corner of the pan.

I never leave these replies but seeing as I make this at least once a month I figured it was time! This is a great recipe, especially love how simple the seasoning is (seriously, I do this often enough that I have those memorized) and can swap out steak for chicken depending on what’s on sale that week. Works well with hard corn taco shells too (have recently discovered some soft tortillas by Promise Gluten Free that work well! Highly recommend)
