How to Cook Steak Fajitas

No access to a grill, no problem! The awesome thing about fajitas is that you can not only throw him on the grill but you can also pop them in the oven on a sheet pan. That might be my favorite part of this recipe. All of the ingredients are quickly cut up, tossed onto a sheet and in minutes you have sizzling fajitas that will rival any cast iron full of fajitas from a restaurant. 

What kind of meat do you use for fajitas?

Steak fajitas a typically made with skirt steak but can also be made with flank steak. When making sheet pan fajitas you can use a more lean cut like a sirloin or round cut of steak. You can definitely marinate and season the meat the same but choose carefully depending on how you are going to cook your fajitas. 

How to make Fajita Seasoning

When making fajitas, a good marinade, seasoning or even both is key! For sheet pan fajitas, I used my own blend of chili powder, cumin, paprika, onion powder and garlic salt. I always like to make my own seasoning mix rather than use a store bought taco seasoning. You really can taste the difference and it doesn’t have extra preservatives. 

If you would like to marinade your meat, use the same seasonings with olive oil and some lime or orange juice. Mix all together and let the meat marinade in the sauce for at least an hour. The tougher the cut of meat the longer you should marinade. 

Cooking Veggies

To make the perfect sheet pan fajita veggies I use the same seasoning as I do for the meat. I always cook the veggies for a few minutes before adding the meat. There is nothing better than tasty veggies on a delicious fajita taco. 

What to Serve With Fajitas

My most favorite topping to serve with fajitas is one that you cannot miss trying! Any time we make fajitas or any type of Tex-Mex dish at home, I always whip up a batch of this fresh and tangy authentic chimichurri sauce. This sauce is full of fresh parsley, fresh oregano and other delicious spices. You have to try it! I promise you will be hooked. 

Another one of our favorite toppings is this guacamole! OMG I could just eat a bowl of it by itself!

This recipe is absolutely perfect for a busy night! You can prep ahead of time and have everything ready to toss on the sheet pan. What is better than a one pot/pan recipe that can be ready in under half an hour? Nothing, I promise!
