Default Beef Fajitas

Beef Fajitas


Ingredients:

8 Tortillas
2 tb Vegetable oil
1 Garlic clove, minced
1 md Onion, thinly sliced
1 md Green or red pepper,slivered
1 lb Beef steak, in thin strips
1 tb Chili powder
1 tb Lime juice
1 tb Pickled jalapeno peppers
1/2 ts Cumin



Ingredient notes:- Beef steak should be sirloin, flank, or round. Pickled jalapeno peppers should be chopped and may be omitted if not desired. Toppings for fajitas are a personal choice. Suggestions: Salsa, chopped tomatoes, shredded Cheddar cheese, guacamole, sour cream, shredded lettuce. Variations: for chicken fajitas, omit beef and use 1 lb skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips. Sauteā€š for 3 to 5 minutes or until no longer pink.

Wrap stacked tortillas in foil.

Bake at 350F (180C) for 5 minutes or until warm.

In large skillet, heat 1 TB oil over medium-high heat. Cook and stir garlic, onion and sweet pepper for 3 to 5 minutes or until tender.

Remove from pan. Add remaining oil to skillet. Brown beef, about 2 minutes.

Stir in chili powder, lime juice, jalapeno peppers and cumin. Return vegetables to skillet and heat through. Spoon meat mixture onto
centre of each tortilla, top with desired toppings.

Fold up bottom edge, then roll up.
