Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 lb flank steak or sirloin
Vegetables:
- 1 large onion
- 3 bell peppers
Seasonings and Oils:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 lime
- Warm tortillas
- Salsa
- Guacamole
- Sour cream
- Chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Position your oven rack to the middle and heat to 400°F. Cover a large sheet pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Spread 1 lb sliced steak, 3 sliced bell peppers, and 1 sliced onion across the pan. Drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle 2 tbsp taco seasoning over the entire surface.
- Use your hands to thoroughly mix ingredients, ensuring every piece gets coated with oil and seasoning. Spread ingredients into a single, even layer.
- Nestle 1 whole lime, cut into wedges, around the pan’s edges. This will help infuse additional flavor during roasting.
- Slide the sheet pan into the preheated oven. Roast for exactly 10-12 minutes, watching for steak to turn golden brown and vegetables to become tender.
- Remove pan from oven. Squeeze roasted lime wedges directly over the entire mixture to brighten the flavors.
- Transfer hot fajita mixture immediately to a serving platter. Accompany with warm tortillas and optional toppings like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
Notes
- Use a sharp knife to slice steak and veggies into uniform, thin strips for even cooking and beautiful presentation.
- Choose a tender cut like flank or skirt steak that will quickly cook and absorb the zesty seasoning.
- Arrange ingredients in a single layer without overcrowding to ensure vegetables caramelize instead of steaming.
- When selecting peppers, mix colors for a vibrant dish that looks as good as it tastes – red, yellow, and green bell peppers work perfectly.
