Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Vegetables
- 1.5 lbs flank steak, sliced thinly
- 2–3 bell peppers, sliced into thin strips (any color)
- 1 white onion, sliced thinly
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons fajita seasoning
Serving
- 8 flour tortillas, 6 inches each
- Optional toppings: sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped green onions, lime wedges
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400º F to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for roasting the vegetables and steak evenly.
- Prepare Vegetables: In a mixing bowl, toss the sliced bell peppers and onions with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of fajita seasoning, coating them evenly for balanced flavor.
- Roast Vegetables: Spread the seasoned vegetables on a baking sheet and place it on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Roast for 10 minutes to allow the vegetables to soften and start caramelizing.
- Season the Steak: Using the same mixing bowl, coat the sliced flank steak with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the remaining 2 tablespoons of fajita seasoning, ensuring all slices are well seasoned.
- Add Steak to Sheet Pan: After the vegetables have roasted 10 minutes, place the seasoned steak slices on top of the vegetables on the same baking sheet to cook together.
- Roast Steak and Vegetables: Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes until the steak is cooked to your preferred level of doneness.
- Rest the Steak: Once done, remove the sheet pan from the oven and let the steak and vegetables rest for several minutes to retain their juices and flavor.
- Warm Tortillas and Serve: While the fajitas rest, warm the tortillas in the oven or on a stovetop. Then, fill each tortilla with the roasted steak and vegetables. Add optional toppings such as sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped green onions, and a squeeze of lime to elevate the flavor experience.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, substitute flour tortillas with corn tortillas.
- Adjust fajita seasoning quantity based on your spice preference.
- Letting the steak rest before serving ensures juicier, more tender meat.
- You can use any variety of bell peppers to add color and flavor.
- Optional toppings such as avocado or fresh cilantro can also complement these fajitas beautifully.
