Sheet Pan Chipotle Steak Tacos. Roasted flank steak with garlic, smoky chipotle chiles, onion, paprika, orange, and tamari. Thinly slice the steak and toss it with a deliciously spicy chipotle sauce. Then serve the steak stuffed into warm flour tortillas along with my charred jalapeño and mango salsa and plenty of avocado. These steak tacos come together easily and are so delicious!
I’ve been holding onto this recipe all month long in prep for Sunday’s Cinco de Mayo festivals. These tacos have been on a weekly rotation for the last month while I worked in tweaking them. Of course, I love any excuse to make the family tacos for dinner! But now I’m so excited to finally share them with you!
These are the yummiest. Cooking the steak at a high heat in the oven gives you such delicious flavor and is so easy. The oven is not typically my first choice, when I cook steak, I usually sear it in a skillet. However, for this recipe, the oven is the way to go.
I was in a hurry and wanted to make tacos for dinner. I’ve recently started buying flank steaks, which are such an underrated cut of meat and are usually relatively affordable.
I wanted to test out cooking the steak in the oven and was so surprised with the results. Cooking the flank steak whole and then thinly slicing it is the secret. It was perfectly cooked every time.
I also added a quick mango salsa and then stuffed everything into warm tortillas.
These are your details
Step 1: season + marinate the steak
Working on a sheet pan, rub the steak with chipotle chili powder, onion powder, and paprika. Add lots of garlic, then orange juice and tamari (or use soy sauce).
If time allows, let the steak marinate for 20 to 30 minutes.
Step 2: cook the steak
Add a couple of jalapeños to the sheet pan with the steak. These are for the mango salsa.
When ready, roast the steak at 450°F for 10 minutes, then broil for 2-5 minutes to give it a char. Allow the steak to cook until it’s done to your liking. I found 12 minutes to be the perfect time.
Then, let the steak rest before you slice.
Step 3: the mango salsa
While the steak is resting, toss mango chunks with lime juice, cilantro, and a pinch of sea salt.
Grab the charred jalapeños from the sheet pan, chop them, and toss them in with the mango blend.
Step 4: serve
Serve this up with warm flour tortillas. I love to char them on a gas burner—it’s the best way to warm a tortilla!
Then, thinly slice the steak and stuff it into the warm tortillas. Add mango salsa and avocado. I usually add some lettuce and crumbled feta or queso cheese. And I always like to serve with the extra sauce on the sheet pan—it’s so delicious!
As I mentioned, these have been on rotation all month long. We really love them, and this recipe is a great way to use a relatively inexpensive cut of meat.
I promise the whole family will love these! I’ll be making them again on Sunday night for a small Mexican-inspired Cinco de Mayo dinner. They’re so fun and yummy!

Great recipe. Thanks, T. Great site.
Thanks so much, Mike!!
Absolutely incredible!!! Thank you Tieghan!!
Thanks so much, Adriana! Glad to hear you enjoyed this recipe and I appreciate you making it! Happy Friday! xT
I’m making these tonight. They look delicious. The recipe calls for 2 tablespoons of olive oil, but I never see the recipe where it says to use it. Was I supposed to rub the flank steak with it?
Hi Darla,
The olive oil is listed in step 2:) Please let me know if you have any other questions! xT
The flavors were great together. Unfortunately, and this could be user error, my flank steak was tough and hard to cut. I had a 1.5# flank steak from Whole Foods and marinated as recommended, baked per the instructions and let it rest for the 10 minutes before slicing. I’d probably want to marinate this longer next time.
Hey Christine,
Thanks so much for trying this recipe and sharing your feedback, so sorry to hear you had issues cutting the steak. Did you cut against the grain? That will really make a difference when cutting flank steak. xx
I made the Sheet Pan Steak Tacos for Cinco de Mayo and they were great. I used a flank steak that I sliced length wise and then tenderized before I marinated. My husband kept talking about all the amazing flavors! I also used frozen mango! Made the recipe as written. Delicious all around! Thank you!
Hey Jessica,
Wonderful!! Thanks a lot for trying this recipe and your comment, love to hear that it was enjoyed! x
So good! Spicey, smokey, sweet perfection!
Hey Laurie,
Awesome! Thanks so much for making this recipe and your comment, love to hear that it was enjoyed! xT
We love all your recipes, but this has been a favorite to date. We didn’t do the mango salsa, but the skirt steak flavors were to die for. 11/10 will be making again!
Thanks so much, Katherine:) I’m so glad to hear that this recipe turned out well for you and appreciate you giving it a try! xT
Delicious!! My family loved these tacos and they were easy to make. Will definitely be on rotation at my house.
Thanks so much, Leslie:) I’m so glad to hear that this recipe turned out well for you and appreciate you giving it a try! xT
Looking forward to making this recipe! My kindergartener is obsessed with mangos right now (a typically picky eater); looking forward to making this with her! I love your blog, it’s creative and therapeutic for me! Please keep up the good work and ignore the haters!
Aww, thanks so much for your kind message, Emily!! I hope your family loves this recipe! Have a great weekend:) xT
Please ignore Gwen’s comment, sounds like she took a bad day out on you, Tieghan. This recipe looks amazing, looking forward to making it! If I can’t find flank steak I may try sirloin : )
Hey Christy,
Thanks so much! Let me know if you try this recipe, I think sirloin would also be great to use! Have a great day:) xT
Hi Christy, top sirloin would be a good sub! Tri-tip would also be good. I often buy tri-tip strips/steaks instead of a whole one. Love the sound of this one from Tieghan!👍🏻
Sounds really good Tieghan! I pay $8-$10 a pound for flank steak.
Thanks so much, Becky!! I hope you love the recipe! xT
Don’t know what planet you live on Tegan, but flank steak is neither “cheap” nor underrated! It’s $19/pound at Whole Foods. So that’s around $35-40 worth of not so “cheap” meat you’re suggesting for taco filler. Maybe it’s time you do your own grocery shopping (instead of having your dad do it for you) so you can have a taste of reality.
This comment is unnecessary. If you don’t like something about the recipe or her work, please quietly unfollow and move on. I am a fan and look forward to every week’s new recipes. I have made at least half of the recipe she has posted, and there are many others who are just as excited as I am about these recipes. Thank you Teghan, I am out there searching for flank steak today so I can make this. It’s still cheaper than going out to a restaurant for my husband and I, and much healthier. Grateful to you for your time and sharing your talent!
Wow. Someone’s needlessly angry.
Hey, it’s $7.89/lb at Walmart where I shop. Please take your negativity elsewhere
Sounds like you have a personal problem that has nothing to do with anyone but you and your own issues “Gwen”. I don’t know what planet you live on where you think that behaving this way makes anybody but you look bad. Maybe try doing something positive and constructive with your life, rather than lashing out at others due to your own miserable insecurity. One again, for the millionth time, your pathetic tr@lling isn’t welcome here.
Calm the eff down, Gwen. You don’t have to buy it at Whole Foods. You don’t even have to use the same type of meat. Hell, you don’t even have to be here. ➡️🚪
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hi I’m going to make this tonight. Can I use a roasting pan instead of a sheet pan? The sides are deeper than a sheet pan but I think it should be ok.
Yes, that will work for you!
This turned out so dang delicious! My family loved the flavors and for me, so easy to make! Have been trying many of your recipes that are a hit with us! Thank you 😊
Thank You Jay,
That was the proper response to Gwen. Nicely put. Wow, she might be a little hi strung over tacos!
Mike
