Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Fajita Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the spices are well mixed.
Season the Steak and Vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the thinly sliced steak, bell peppers, and onion with olive oil, lime juice, and the fajita seasoning. Make sure everything is evenly coated.
Arrange on the Sheet Pan: Spread the seasoned steak and vegetables evenly on the prepared sheet pan in a single layer.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the steak is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the vegetables are tender. Stir halfway through the cooking time for even cooking.
Serve: Once cooked, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Serve the steak and veggies on warm tortillas and garnish with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime, and your favorite toppings like sour cream or guacamole.
