Ingredients

For the Fajitas:

  • 1 pound thinly sliced (around 1/41/2 inch) flank steak, sliced across the grain
  • 3 bell peppers (orange, green, and yellow), thinly sliced
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced

Marinade:

  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper (optional)

For Serving

  • cilantro
  • avocado
  • flour tortillas
  • limes
  • pico/salsa

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Make the marinade by combining the spices, oil, lime juice, and lime zest in a small mixing bowl.
  3. Next, pour half the fajita marinade on the veggies and toss until the vegetables are well coated in the marinade. Pour the veggies out onto a large sheet pan that has been lined with parchment paper in a single layer. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 425 degrees until the veggies are tender yet still crisp.
  4. While the veggies are in the oven, pour the other half of the marinade on the steak and stir until well coated. Let the steak marinate while the veggies are cooking.
  5. Once the veggies are finished cooking remove the sheet pan from the oven and preheat the broiler on high.
  6. Split the veggies in half on the sheet pan and push them to the sides of the pan so that there is an empty space in the middle.
  7. Place the marinated steak in the empty space in the center of the sheet pan and spread in an even layer so the steak does not overlap. Return the sheet pan to the oven and place on the top rack. Broil the steak for 3-5 minutes until it’s your desired doneness and then remove. Flip it half way through so that both sides of the steak brown.
  8. Serve the fajitas with tortillas and all your favorite toppings!
