How to Make Beef Fajitas

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/4 cup lime juice, and 1 tbsp soy sauce.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs thinly sliced beef sirloin steak to the marinade. Toss to coat completely. Marinate for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for maximum flavor).
  3. While the meat marinates, prepare the vegetables: Slice 1 large green bell pepper, 1 large red bell pepper, and 1 large onion into thin strips.
  4. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
  5. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  6. Warm tortillas according to package directions.
  7. Serve the sizzling beef and vegetables in warm tortillas. Top with your favorite fajita toppings such as salsa, sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro.
