Easy Fajitas
1 1/2lbs of flank steak
Salt and Pepper
2TBS vegetable oil
2TBS fresh lime juice
2 red bell peppers, stemmed, seeded, and sliced thin
1 red onion, halved and sliced thin
2TBS water
1tsp chili powder
1tsp hot pepper sauce
1/2tsp cumin
12 (6-inch) flour tortillas

1. Pat steak dry with paper towels, then season with salt and pepper. Heat 1TBS oil in a 12 inch skillet over medium high heat until just smoking. Brown steak on first side, about 5 minutes.

2. Flip the steak over and continue to cook to desired doneness, 3-6 minutes. Transfer to a large plate and drizzle with lime juice. Tent with foil and let rest 10 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, add the remaining oil to skillet and heat on medium high until shimmering. Add peppers, onion, water, chili powder, hot pepper sauce, cumin, and 1/2tsp of salt. Cook, scraping up any browned bits, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to serving bowl.

4. Stack tortillas on plate and cover with plastic wrap. Heat in microwave until soft and hot, about 30 seconds to a minute.

5. Slice steak very thin across the grain. Arrange on platter and serve on tortillas with the veggies.

Fajitas can be topped with many things. We like tomatoes, avocado, cheese, sour cream, lettuce and lime wedges. You can leave the hot pepper sauce and serve at the table if you have spice haters like I do. My kids love the fact that they can put these together at the table themselves.

Very easy meal that I love.
