  • Use a large sheet pan to ensure that the fajitas cook evenly and have enough room to spread out.
  • Cut the vegetables into similar sizes to ensure they cook evenly and are done at the same time as the beef.
  • Don’t overcrowd the sheet pan – leave some space between the vegetables and meat to ensure that everything cooks evenly and gets crispy.
  • Stir the ingredients occasionally to ensure they cook evenly and don’t stick to the pan.
  • Don’t overcook the beef – it’s best when it’s cooked to medium-rare or medium.
  • Serve the fajitas immediately while they’re still hot and crispy.
  • Don’t forget to top the fajitas with some fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime for added flavor.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in a skillet over medium heat until heated through or in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes.
