Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs skirt steak or flank steak, sliced against the grain into thin strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced
  • 12 small flour tortillas (for serving)
  • Optional Toppings: sour cream, shredded cheese, salsa, lime wedges, fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper to create the spice blend.
  3. Place the sliced steak, bell peppers, and onions in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil.
  4. Sprinkle the spice blend over the steak and vegetables. Toss everything together until the steak and vegetables are evenly coated with the seasoning.
  5. Spread the seasoned steak and vegetables in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Do not overlap the ingredients too much; use two sheets if necessary to ensure proper roasting.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the steak is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp. For extra char, switch the oven to broil for the last 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  7. Warm the tortillas according to package directions (in the oven during the last 5 minutes, or briefly in a dry skillet).
  8. Serve the sizzling steak fajitas immediately with your choice of toppings and warm tortillas.

Notes

  • For the best flavor, marinate the seasoned steak strips in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • If you prefer a skillet-seared version, cook the steak first in a hot cast iron pan until browned, remove, then cook the vegetables, and return the steak to the pan to heat through before serving.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep; store the cooked steak and vegetable mix separately from the tortillas.
