    Your oven practically does all the work and there’s no standing over a hot pan when making these AMAZING fajitas… it’s a perfect dinner for busy weeknights!

    Your Simple Ingredients

    By using skirt steak, no marinating is required and the result is deliciously seasoned and tender strips of steak with peppers, onions and garlic (YUM!).  

    A Helpful Hint for Slicing the Steak

    Place in the freezer for about 30 minutes prior to slicing. This firms the meat and makes it easier to slice into thin strips.

    How to Make It

    1. Toss together steak strips, peppers, onions and garlic with olive oil in a large bowl. Sprinkle seasonings over the mixture and toss again to coat as evenly as possible.
    2. Spread evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray and bake.
    3. During the last five minutes of baking, place flour tortillas (wrapped in aluminum foil) in the oven to heat.

    Topping Ideas

    • Sliced avocado
    • Salsa
    • Guacamole
    • Sour cream
    • Shredded cheese
    • Chopped fresh cilantro

    Ingredients

    For the fajita seasoning:

    • 2 teaspoons chili powder
    • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
    • 1 teaspoon ground paprika
    • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

    For the steak fajita filling:

    • 1 ¼ pounds skirt steak sliced thinly in ¼ inch strips across the grain
    • 3 medium bell peppers cored, seeded and sliced (I used green, yellow and red)
    • 1 medium yellow onion halved and sliced
    • 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
    • 3 tablespoons olive oil

    For serving:

    • 2 tablespoons lime juice from 1 lime
    • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro optional garnish
    • 6 fajita flour tortillas

    Instructions

    • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly spray a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
    • Prepare the seasoning by stirring the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl until well combined. Set aside.
    • In a large bowl, toss together the steak strips, peppers, onions and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and gently toss to coat. Sprinkle with seasoning over mixture, a little at a time while continuing to toss to coat evenly.
    • Evenly distribute steak and vegetable mixture on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, or until steak is done and vegetables are tender. During the last 5 minutes of baking, place the tortillas wrapped in aluminum foil in oven to heat.
    • Once pan is removed from oven, drizzle evenly with lime juice and garnish with desired amount of fresh chopped cilantro.
    • Serve in heated tortillas with your favorite toppings.

      Made last night turned out great. Cooked mine for 30 mins and turned out perfect. Added red pepper flakes to give it more heat. Used orange green and red peppers with the onions and steak. Thank you for a great and easy recipe.

      Thank you for this recipe! The whole family loves steak fajitas with the bell peppers and onions. Plus, it’s so easy to prepare and fairly quick in the oven. Win win in my book. I do love the idea of making this a Sunday tradition for those reasons.

      Is 20 minutes correct? I followed the recipe exactly and it came out raw still.

        Hi Ernesto, 20 minutes is what it took for me. Different ovens and elevations could cause a change in cooking times, that’s why I said “Bake for 20 minutes, or until steak is done and vegetables are tender.” I hope it turned out well once you cooked it longer! 🙂

        Hi Joanna, I’ve never used cubed steak in this recipe so I can’t say for sure, but I’d be willing to try it… let me know how it turns out!

      Is the steak cooked before or put in the oven raw?

      This has become a weekly favorite, although we sometimes replace the steak with chicken. SO good and so easy. My picky eater doesn’t like the cooked veg so I reserve raw peppers for him and everyone is happy.

      Hi, Taco Tuesday? Sorry, but you’ve been replaced with a Fajita Fest this week. They’re just just bigger and stronger. Good try, though! (Ha! But seriously, these look INSANELY GOOD!)
