Beef Fajitas image

This colorful beef fajita contains fresh cilantro, yellow bell peppers, and red onions. Sour cream and a squeeze of lime juice give it a cool taste. The longer the flank steak marinates, the more flavorful it will be. You can substitute 1 1/2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breast for the beef, if you wish.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds flank steak
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 medium red onions, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
2 yellow bell peppers, ribs and seeds removed, cut into 1/2-inch strips
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
Sour cream, lime wedges, fresh cilantro sprigs, and salsa, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place steak in a shallow dish; rub with lime juice, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cover, and let marinate at room temperature at least 20 minutes and up to 1 hour.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high heat. Cook steak until browned on both sides, 5 to 8 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer steak to a plate; cover with foil, and set aside.
  • In same skillet, heat remaining tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, peppers, and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing frequently, until onions and peppers begin to soften, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, wrap stacked tortillas in aluminum foil. Bake until warmed through, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • To serve, slice steak thinly. Serve with onion mixture, warmed tortillas, and desired accompaniments.

These fajitas were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I'll definitely make them again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.

The fajitas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more seasoning next time.

The fajitas were good, but I think I would have liked them better if I had used a different type of marinade for the beef.

These fajitas were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll drain the beef more thoroughly next time.
