Sheet Pan Steak Fajitas Recipe – Fast, easy, one pan fajitas recipe with deliciously seasoned flank steak, colorful peppers, and onions.
Happy Sunday, friends! I hope you guys are living it up, wherever you are! I, on the other hand, am putting steak and peppers on a sheet pan and please, don’t even be mad about it, mmm’kay? ‘Cause my mother was. She shook her head thinking that I cooked raw meat next to fresh veggies and that’s a huuuuuge no-no in her book.
No worries, though! I kept the steak and its juices away from the veg with one very easy trick: aluminum foil. But then I got some more heat for using foil and not parchment paper!! Because, apparently, foil is linked to brain disorders… and I also read that spinach causes cancer. *shrugging* I can’t win.
But please, sit down, lets talk more about these sheet pan steak fajitas cooked on a sheet pan, all together, at the same time…
Friends, if you’re in the market for fast, EASY weeknight dinners, THIS is IT!
We have a deliciously seasoned flank steak surrounded by colorful peppers and onions that will later be added to flour tortillas and devoured by all. EVEN your youngest family members. I have verrrrrry picky eaters – the “mac ‘n cheese” ONLY types – and yet they absolutely love love love these steak fajitas.
Using the same seasonings as I did here on my traditional Steak Fajitas, this flank steak turned out way better than I expected. IF you haven’t tried my homemade fajitas seasoning mix, please do so asap. It’s BE.yond!
This is so full of flavor, you guys. It’s only fajitas, I know, but they’re damn good! It tastes like summer forever, and it’s ready in about 30-ish minutes. Could there be a more perfect recipe? Aside from a big ice cream cone for dinner?? Exactly! Nothing better.
AND finally, adding that steak and peppers to a warm (whole wheat, low carb!) flour tortilla?!? TOPPED with plain yogurt (you can use sour cream) and avocado!?! AND a squeeze of lime juice??? YAHS, pleeeeease!
Also, pleeeease make these as soon as you get home, or, like, right now? Because, deliciousness. Theeee End. ❤ YOU!
ENJOY!

Would I be able to make this in a skillet?
this is great, I’ll take the aluminum foil risk for the convenience of having all of this fajita stuff in one place, otherwise seems like at least 4 burners plus an oven are needed! thank you for this recipe and also for the fajita mix, like having one from scratch!
This looks so delicious,and healthy too!
I make something similar and put a thin layer of cream on a tortilla, put sliced steak, onion, peppers, mushrooms and pieces of bleu cheese and top with another tortilla in my tortilla maker. Serve with sour cream.
This looks great! Is it true you can’t just put the meat and vegetables together? I mean, everything is going to get cooked, right? I is not the same as putting raw meat near vegetables. What do you think?
Oh you can definitely put them together – I always do! But I get a good amount of emails whenever I post a one-pot recipe that involves raw meat and how I shouldn’t put it all together… everyone has an opinion. haha 😀 Including my mother! LOL!
