If you love fajitas you may also love convenient recipes, and this sheet pan steak fajitas recipe is about as convenient as you can get. Made with homemade seasoning blends, jalapenos, zucchini, bell peppers, and more all nestled in flour tortillas with shredded cheese. This dinner is one you’ll want to add to your meal rotations.

We love easy dinners around here and when you’re feeding a family, the easier dinner is means the less time you have to spend around the stove cooking up enough for everybody. With these chili lime steak fajitas, you’ll have full bellies with minimal effort and that’s always a win-win in my books!

This recipe is easily adjustable to your own tastes by simply omitting, adding, or substituting seasonings and ingredients to what you enjoy. The recipe card below will have more information and tips in regards to this if you’d like some more ideas.

What you’ll need for this fajitas recipe:

For the fajitas seasoning blend you will need:

  • Chili powder
  • Ground cumin
  • Jalapeno
  • Garlic
  • Lime
  • Salt and pepper

Other ingredients needed include:

  • Canola or vegetable oil
  • Steak
  • Red and yellow bell peppers
  • Red onion
  • Zucchini

For serving, you may want:

  • Small flour tortillas
  • Limes
  • Shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack)
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Sour cream
  • Cilantro
  • Pic de Gallo

How to make sheet pan fajitas

  1. Rub your steak well with chili powder and cumin.
  2. In a skillet on medium to medium-high heat, add in 2 teaspoons of oil. Cook the steak until nicely seared on both sides and the inside is medium-rare to medium inside. This is about 145 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
  3. Remove the steak from the pan and let rest for 3-5 minutes.
  4. In that same pan add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Then add in the jalapeno, garlic, lime juice, salt, bell peppers, onion, and zucchini.
  5. Cook on high until the veggies have a nice sear. This should take about 3-5 minutes. If your pan gets too dry, add in a couple of tablespoons of water throughout the cooking process.
  6. While the veggies are cooking, slice the steak against the grain.
  7. Toss your sliced steak with the veggies when they have finished cooking and keep everything in the pan to stay warm.

Common Questions and Answers

Why should I cut the steak against the grain?

This is an important trick for getting a tender and delicious piece of meat that doesn’t require a ton of chewing. When you slice meat against the grain you are cutting the little muscle fibers that hold it together and cause the meat to be chewy. This means less work for your teeth and a lot more enjoyable to eat.

Why is this called a sheet pan fajita recipe?

While this recipe is not made on a sheet pan it is all made in a pan on the stove making it a one-pan meal. You can however choose to cook the meat in the oven on a large sheet pan if all of your ingredients can fit. Simply grease the pan, season and thinly slice the meat, and slice the veggies. Lay everything on the pan and bake at 400 degrees F for about 10-15 minutes depending on the thickness of your sliced meat. Your veggies should be soft and your steak should be a minimum of 145 degrees F.

Notes

If you like more heat, leave the seeds and membranes in the jalapeno. If you like less spice, pull them out before mincing. 
You can use any cut of steak you like for this recipe. Traditional cuts are skirt steak and flat iron steak, but you could use a sirloin steak as well if needed. The thinner the cut, the higher the heat should be when cooking.
For thin steaks, cook on medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side. For thinner steaks, cook on medium heat for 4-6 minutes per side. Either way, you want a nice dark outside on the steak without overcooking the inside.
