Instructions

Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (204°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting your fajitas.
Slice the steak: Cut the skirt or flank steak into approximately quarter-inch thick slices, making sure to cut against the grain to maximize tenderness when cooked.
Combine ingredients: On a large sheet pan, add the sliced steak, bell peppers, onions, olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, chipotle powder, dried oregano, and freshly squeezed lime juice. Toss everything together thoroughly so that the steak and vegetables are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
Arrange and bake: Spread the mixture out in a single, even layer on the sheet pan to promote even cooking and roasting. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the steak is cooked through to your desired level.
Serve: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and serve the fajita mixture with warmed tortillas and your favorite fajita toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or shredded cheese for a complete and satisfying meal.

Notes

Cutting the steak against the grain is essential for tenderness.
You can adjust spice levels by reducing or increasing chili and chipotle powder.
For added flavor, marinate the steak in the spices and lime juice for 30 minutes before cooking if time allows.
Use any variety of bell peppers (red, green, yellow, orange) for a colorful dish.
Serve with sides like rice, beans, or a fresh salad to round out the meal.
