Steak Fajitas

Cultural Context

Steak fajitas originated in the border regions of Mexico and Texas, where ranch workers would grill cuts of beef over open flames. The dish celebrates the vibrant flavors of grilled meat and fresh vegetables, often enjoyed in communal settings. Today, fajitas have become a popular Tex-Mex staple, with variations that include chicken, shrimp, and even vegetarian options, making them a versatile choice for many.

1

Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper. Stir until evenly mixed.

2

In a large bowl, add steak, onions and bell peppers. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with minced garlic. Mix everything until it is evenly coated in oil and garlic. Sprinkle seasoning mix over everything. Mix again until everything is evenly coated.

3

Line a 2/3 size sheet pan with foil. If you do not have a 2/3 size sheet pan, you can use two half sheet pans. Lay all the vegetables and meat onto the lined sheet pan. Try your best to keep it to a single layer with no overlap.

4

Cook for about 12-20 minutes or until steak reaches desired doneness and vegetables are cooked but still crisp. When there is about 5 minutes left before food is done, cover tortillas in aluminum foil and place on top of baking pan to warm up.

5

Serve with lime wedges, fresh cilantro and any other toppings you desire.
