Sheet Pan Beef Fajitas

Background and History:

Fajitas are a Tex-Mex culinary treasure, with their roots tracing back to Mexican ranch cuisine. Originally, they were made with throwaway cuts of beef like skirt steak, which was marinated and grilled. This modern adaptation simplifies the preparation by roasting all the ingredients together on a sheet pan, creating a flavorful and fuss-free dish.

Serves: 4

Time:

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 3 bell peppers (assorted colors), sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Flour tortillas
  • Toppings (e.g., salsa, sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese)

Instruction:

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced flank steak, bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic.
  • Drizzle with olive oil, fajita seasoning, and lime juice. Toss to coat the ingredients evenly.
  • Spread the mixture onto a sheet pan in a single layer.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the beef is cooked to your preferred level of doneness, and the vegetables are tender.
  • Serve the beef and vegetable mixture on warm flour tortillas with your choice of toppings.
