Beef Fajitas

Straight off the grill and right into a tortilla - that's the way to eat fajitas! If you want them to sizzle like in the restaurant, Cook the peppers and onions in a very hot cast iron skillet and just before serving add the sliced beef to the pan and squeeze a fresh lime over the meat, onions and peppers! Handle the pan very carefully as it will be very hot.

You can be rather creative with fajitas and the garnishes. Guacamole, lettuce, tomatoes all go nicely atop a hot fajita. A side of rice and beans will finish off this dish nicely.

Ingredients:

  • 18 ounces beef flank steak fat removed
  • 1 tablespoon Fajita Seasoning

  • 1 cup thin strips of red or green sweet pepper
