Steak Fajitas with Sweet Peppers & Avocado Crema

Fajitas are a fast, fresh, one-skillet dinner, especially when the steak is sliced and the seasoning is ready to sprinkle. Just chop up some veggies and add sizzle.

What You Get

Bell pepper

Red Onion

Cilantro

Lime

Sliced beef (see note below)

Fajita seasoning

Flour tortillas

Avocado lime crema

What You’ll Need

Vegetable oil

Salt and freshly ground pepper

Makes 3 servings

Active Time: 15 minutes 

Total Time: 15 minutes 

Step 1

Seed and slice the bell pepper. Slice the onion. Pick the cilantro, toss the stems, and roughly chop a handful of leaves. Cut the lime into wedges for squeezing. Drain the beef and pat dry with paper towels. In a bowl, toss the beef with 1 tablespoon of the fajita seasoning and ½ teaspoon salt.

Step 2

In a frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the bell pepper and onion and sauté until soft and starting to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Step 3

Return the pan to the heat, and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add the beef and sear, stirring once or twice, until browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Return the vegetables to the pan and toss to combine.

Step 4

To warm the tortillas, in a dry pan over medium-high heat, flash the tortillas for 30 seconds on each side. Wrap them in a clean towel to steam through and keep warm.

Step 5

To build the fajitas, place the tortillas on plates, and fill with the beef and vegetables. Drizzle with the avocado lime crema and sprinkle with the cilantro. Serve warm, with the lime wedges for squeezing.
