  • Cooking Method: Sautéing
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Cuisine Type: Tex-Mex

Ingredients

  • 5 oz. flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 bell pepper, sliced (any color you fancy)
  • 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 packet fajita seasoning mix
  • 1 small tortilla
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional, but highly recommended)
  • 1/4 cup guacamole (because why not?)
  • 1 lime wedge (for that citrus kick)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Cooking Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Throw in the sliced bell pepper and onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they’re softer than a lullaby.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute. Don’t let it burn, nobody likes burnt garlic.
  4. Push those veggies to one side of the skillet and add the sliced steak to the empty side.
  5. Sprinkle the fajita seasoning mix over the steak, toss to combine. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the steak is browned and magical.
  6. Mix the veggies and steak together. Cook for another 2 minutes, letting the flavors mingle like they’re at a party.
  7. Warm your tortilla in another skillet or microwave for 15 seconds. Don’t worry, it won’t bite.
  8. Fill your tortilla with the steak-veggie mix, top with shredded cheese and guacamole. Squeeze that lime wedge over the top.
  9. Roll it up or fold it like a champ. Dive in!

Suggestions

  • Cooking Tips: Marinate your steak for a few hours if you have time—although patience is overrated.
