Ingredients
- 1 lb. large shrimp tails removed, peeled and deveined
- 1 lb. steak strips sirloin or flank, stir-fry style
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil (30g)
Spices:
- 4 tsp. ancho chile powder
- 2 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. paprika
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- 1 tsp. oregano
- 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
For serving:
- 2-3 Tbsp. fresh chopped cilantro or 1 Tbsp lightly dried cilantro
- Street taco-size flour tortillas I used La Banderita high fiber
- Crumbled cotija or shredded Mexican cheese
- Sliced avocado, pickled red onions, diced tomatoes, etc.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly grease an extra-large rimmed baking sheet.
- Before adding anything to the pan, use paper towels to pat the shrimp and steak very dry. This step is key— removing excess moisture helps the spices stick and allows everything to get beautifully browned instead of steaming.
- Place the shrimp on one side of the sheet pan and the steak on the other, keeping them separate.
- In a small bowl, mix together all of the spices. Sprinkle evenly over the shrimp and steak.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of oil over each. Using your hands or tongs, toss the shrimp and steak separately right on the pan until well coated and evenly seasoned.
- Spread everything into an even layer (avoid overcrowding for best browning).
- Bake for 7–8 minutes, until shrimp are opaque and the steak is nearly cooked through.
- Switch the oven to HIGH broil and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes, watching closely, until lightly charred around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Give everything a gentle toss for a burst of fresh flavor.
- Serve in warmed tortillas with avocado, cotija, chipotle mayo, sour cream, or your favorite taco toppings— and enjoy!
Notes
Why using pre-sliced stir fry steak is SMART
- Saves time and energy— no slicing required. Perfect for busy weeknights.
- Cooks fast
- More surface area = more spice coverage (and more flavor)
- Better taco texture– thin strips tuck perfectly into tortillas
