Ingredients
  

  • Fajitas:
  • 2 pounds skirt steak
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 1 fresh lime, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (homemade or store-bought), recipe below
  • 2 small red onions, thinly sliced
  • 2-3 bell peppers, colors of choice, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • tortillas, charred or warmed
  • sour cream, for topping
  • fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • cucumber mango salsa, optional garnish
  • Homemade Taco Seasoning:
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1½ teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • pinch red pepper flakes
  • Cucumber-Mango Salsa: (Optional)
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 mango, peeled and diced
  • 2 fresh limes, juiced
  • 2 ounces fresh orange juice
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • ½ jalapeno, seeded and chopped
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • pinch crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions
 

  • Place the skirt steak in a large ziplock bag or bowl. Add olive oil, lime juice, taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Seal the bag or cover the bowl, then marinate the meat for at least 3 hours, or overnight for the best flavor and tenderness.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Coat a large sheet pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil or spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Add the marinated steak, veggies, and any remaining marinade to the prepared sheet pan. Spread everything evenly. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness.
  • Once the steak is done, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Cover it loosely with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes to lock in the juices.
  • Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Serve immediately with warm tortillas, sour cream, fresh cilantro, and cucumber-mango salsa, if desired.
  • Cucumber-Mango Salsa:
  • Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and toss to combine. Taste and add salt as needed. Cover and keep in the fridge until ready to serve.

Notes

If replacing skirt steak with flank steak, then marinade the flank overnight.
