Traditional fajitas with a colorful twist of flavor. Feel free to garnish with cheese, sour cream, salsa, etc. when serving. I use thick flour tortillas warmed in the oven, Mexican queso, and crema fresca.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound beef round steak, cut into thin strips

  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips

  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into thin strips

  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced

  • 2 anaheim chile peppers, thinly sliced

  • 1 (1.27 ounce) packet spicy fajita seasoning

  • 6 tablespoons olive oil

  • 4 large cloves garlic, crushed

Directions

  1. Combine beef strips, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, onion, anaheim chile peppers, fajita seasoning, olive oil, and garlic in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the beef and vegetable mixture in hot skillet until beef is no longer pink in the center and vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

The meat will take the same amount of time to cook as the veggies as long as they are sliced to the same thinness.

If marinade is too dry, add a small amount of warm water.
