Ingredients

  • 1 lb flank steak
  • 2 bell peppers
  • 1 sweet onion
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper

Chipotle marinade

  • 1/2 cup adobo sauce from a can of chipotle peppers
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the adobo sauce, olive oil, honey, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to make the chipotle marinade.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sliced flank steak, sliced bell peppers, sliced onion, and chipotle marinade. Toss everything together until the meat and vegetables are evenly coated in the marinade.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the fajita mixture marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F
  • Spread the marinated fajita mixture out on a sheet pan in a single layer. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the beef is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred

Notes

  • Use a high-quality cut of beef, such as skirt steak or flank steak, for best results.
  • Marinate the beef in the chipotle sauce for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight to allow the flavors to infuse into the meat.
  • 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.
