instructions
    1

    Begin by slicing the steak into thin strips against the grain. This ensures tenderness.

    2

    In a small bowl, mix cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning blend.

    3

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak slices, seasoning them evenly with the spice mix. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently until browned and cooked to your desired doneness.

    4

    While the steak is cooking, slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.

    5

    Add the bell peppers and onion to the skillet after the steak is cooked. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

    6

    Mince 3 cloves of garlic and add them to the skillet. Cook for an extra 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant, stirring regularly.

    7

    While the fajita filling is cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave, keeping them covered to stay soft.

    8

    Squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the steak and vegetable mixture before serving for extra flavor.

    9

    Serve the sizzling steak fajitas with warmed tortillas and garnish with sour cream and guacamole.

How to be creative
  • Swap traditional beef steak for chicken or shrimp for a different twist.

  • Add a fresh salsa or pico de gallo for an extra burst of freshness.
Important Tips
  • For more flavor, marinate the steak in the seasoning blend for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Try adding different types of peppers for a variety of colors and flavors.
  • Serve with extra lime wedges for added zest at the table.
