Why You Should Try Southwestern Sheet Pan Beef Fajitas

  • This is what I call a hands-off recipe. Just marinate the beef, chopped the veggies, put everything on a sheet pan and cook for 30-minutes.
  • Clean-up is a breeze.
  • This recipe is a proven family friendly meal.

Reader Questions

Can I substitute any other meat with the steak?

This recipe goes really well with boneless, skinless chicken breasts. However, you will need to cook the chicken to an internal temperature of 165°.

What is a flat iron steak?

A flat iron steak is also called a “butler’s steak”. It’s from the shoulder of the cow and is a bit tough which is why it’s important for marinate it before cooking. The marinade breaks down the tough connective tissue and tenderized the meat. The longer it’s marinated (4 hours instead of 2 hours) the more tender it becomes.

Can I use another type of steak?

A skirt and a flank steak can be easily used instead of a flat iron steak.

Serve with Homemade Pico de Gallo

Fresh Pico de Gallo is the perfect topping for these fajitas.
