Sheet-Pan Steak and Chipotle Corn Tacos: Roasted flank steak with a homemade taco seasoning mix and sweet yellow corn. Thinly slice the steak and toss it with a deliciously spicy chipotle butter sauce. Then, serve the steak and corn stuffed into warm flour tortillas topped with avocado, cheese, and even more chipotle sauce! These steak tacos come together easily and are so delicious—even better than street tacos!
It’s always a happy day when tacos are on the menu. When my sister, Asher, requested some street-style steak tacos, I had no problem coming up with a recipe!
She had a few specific requests, though. Since she’s my only recipe tester around right now, I ran with her requests and made what she’s calling her ideal taco. Steak seems to be Asher’s meat of choice these days. Her requests were: not too spicy but with a nice kick, and make sure to add some kind of vegetable. She suggested corn, topped street-style with cilantro, avocado, cheese, and sauce.
Asher tends to be very specific.
She also mentioned that soft tortillas are best for a more street-like feel. I followed her directions because when Asher gives directions, you follow them. I’m telling you, she’s going to be president someday. Well, maybe not president, that’s a lot, but she’s a boss, and you listen.
Anyway, I’m glad I followed her lead. These ended up being simple, yet, delicious. She actually said 11 out of 10.
These are the details
Step 1: the seasoning
Working on a sheet pan, rub the steak with my homemade blend of spices. My “taco mix” consists of chili powder, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, and salt. Next add a sliced onion and olive oil and really rub the seasonings into the steak.
If time allows, let the steak marinate for 20 to 30 minutes.
Step 2: cook the steak
Add the corn to the sheet pan with the steak. When ready, roast the steak at 450°F for 10 minutes, then broil for 2-5 minutes to give it a little char. Allow the steak to cook until it’s done to your liking. I found 12 minutes to be the perfect time, but keep in mind that this will vary depending on the thickness of the steak.
Let the steak rest before you slice.
Step 3: the chipotle sauce
While the steak is resting, make the chipotle sauce. This really is the “secret” sauce that makes these so yummy.
Picture my buffalo sauce, but made with the addition of chipotle chilies. It’s a mix of melted butter, hot sauce, seasoned salt, and chopped chipotle chilies. It’s smoky, spicy, and great!
Step 4: serve
Stuff the steak and corn into warmed flour tortillas. I love to char them on a gas burner—it’s the best way to warm a tortilla!
Add cilantro, avocado, cheese, and extra sauce. I usually add a dollop of Greek yogurt mixed with lime, honey, and sea salt—it’s so delicious!
We all loved the way these turned out. I foresee them being on rotation through September when fresh corn is still best at its best!
I promise the whole family will love these! They’re so fun and yummy! My brothers, who are not here in Colorado, are dying to try them!

This recipe is delicious and everyone in our family loved it. We grilled our steaks and I cooked the corn separately. I also caramelized a few large onions.
Hey Anita,
Awesome! Love to hear that you enjoyed this recipe, thanks for making it and your comment! xT
Is it one chipotle pepper from the can or the whole can?
Hey there,
You are going to use one chipotle pepper from the can:) Please let me know if you have any other questions! xT
I cook her recipe at least once or twice a week. This is my first experience where her instructions lacked very much. I believe the recipe was mediocre. Again could be because the instruction lacked.
Hey Elizabeth,
Thanks so much for trying this recipe and sharing you feedback, so sorry to hear it was not enjoyed. Is there anything specific in the instructions that I need to review? Let me know:) xx
Made this for dinner last night. I mistakenly purchased STRIP steak instead of SKIRT steak (I don’t know my steaks 🙂 .. and used frozen roasted corn kernels. The dish was delicious and easy to make!
Thanks so much, Summer! Glad to hear this recipe turned out well for you! Have a great day:) Xx
I am not a hot spicy person, but this sounded too good not to try. I did the amount for the chili, smoked paprika and Chipotle chili. I used flank steak as it was less expensive and cooked it on the grill. Roasted the corn and onion with a little bit of the spice seasoning. I skipped the hot butter sauce, but others loved it. This was definitely a fantastic dinner and super easy to make your own. A++
Thank you so much, Beth:) So glad to hear that you enjoyed these tacos, I appreciate you giving them a try and your feedback! xx
Made this recipe tonight and my husband was blown away! The seasoning was amazing and the steak was so tender! And it was super easy to make! I can’t wait to make this for friends! It will definitely be a staple at our house!
Hey Lyndsey,

I made this for a 10 person dinner party and it was a HIT. Served with cilantro – lime rice. That hot sauce is not to be missed – superb and easy!
Hey Alexandra,
Love to hear that you enjoyed this recipe, thank you so much for making it and your comment! xT
Very good! I thought I had a can of chipotle in adobo but I did not so I just sprinkled chipotle chili powder in the butter sauce.
It so very very good. A keeper for sure
Hey Ann,
Happy Sunday!! So glad to hear that this recipe turned out well for you, thanks for making it! xT
Hi! Do you think you could sub Greek yogurt for the butter or is it essential? Thanks!!
Hi Alexandra,
Sure, the greek yogurt should work nicely for you! Please let me know if I can help in any other way! xT
These tacos are so delicious! My husband and teenage boys loved them! Maybe my steak was thicker but I had to cook it about twice as long to get to a medium / medium well temperature. Will definitely be making again!
Hey Angela,
Wonderful! So glad to hear this recipe was enjoyed, thanks for making it! Have a great weekend:)
So delicious! We used skirt steak so had to cook a bit longer but, WOW! What a flavor bomb! My crew loved the sauce and the lime crema you mention in your cooking story. And with the seasonal corn… this was a home run! 👏🏼
Hey Alma,
Love to hear that you enjoyed this recipe, thank you so much for making it and your comment! xT
Hi, I’m a bit confused about the cooking temperature. In Step 2, you say, “roast the steak at 450°F for 10 minutes”. But in 1. In the instructions it says to preheat the oven to 475°F. Can you clarify which it should be?
Hi Katie,
So sorry, I am not sure where you are seeing that in step 2, but you are going to have your oven at 475F. Please let me know if I can help in any other way! xT
Hi there! Great recipe cannot wait to attempt making it! Please can you tell me what kind of cheese you used in this recipe thanks! 🙏🏽
Thanks so much, Kelly!! I used feta for this recipe:) Let me know if you give it a try! xT
Lol find someone else if you’re just going to complain. I pulled up this recipe because it was suggested me and I thought it looked delicious. Came to comments for reviews, not for complaining about what she posts lol
Oh, yet another taco recipe? Did France not inspire you at all??
And what are you doing to bring joy and nourishment to the world, Serena? Right, thought so. Be kind, write an honest/helpful review, or go away.
Wow! So not necessary. Move along if you don’t need another taco recipe.
Tacos are ALMOST always a fan favorite 🫣
Sounds delicious! Can you clarify if baking the steak and corn is at 450° or 475°, as it mentions both. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much, Barbara! You are going to bake at 475F. Please let me know if you have any other questions, I hope you love this recipe! xT
How many tacos does this make? I saw 6 servings so is it 2 tacos/ serving? Thanks!
Hi Ashley,
Yes, I usually do 2 tacos per serving. Please let me know if you have any other questions! xT
