Foodie Friday

It's that time again!  And yes, I actually have a recipe today!  I know I've been slacking the past couple of weeks.  My bad.  But I'm back!  I'm out of my 'find a new recipe' slump & I've got a good one today, if I do say so myself. :)

Today's recipe is Sizzling Steak Fajitas

Ingredients

3/4 pound lean flank steak

2 teaspoons ground cumin

2 teaspoons chili powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper

4 (8-inch) flour tortillas

1 teaspoon vegetable oil

2 cups sliced onion *omitted as we are not huge lovers of onions*

1/3 cup green bell pepper strips

1/3 cup red bell pepper strips

1/3 cup yellow bell pepper strips *I used a bag of frozen green, red & yellow peppers*

1 tablespoon lime juice *used lemon juice as I was out of lime juice*

1/4 cup nonfat sour cream *also omitted because we don't like sour cream*

Commercial green salsa (optional)

Cilantro sprigs (optional)

* Trim the fat from steak.  Slice steak diagonally across grain into thin strips.

* Combine steak & next 6 ingredients (steak through ground red pepper) in a zip lock bag, seal bag, & shake well to coat.

* Heat tortillas according to package directions.

* Heat 1 tsp oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

* Add steak, onions, and bell peppers; saute 6 minutes or until steak is done.

* Remove from heat; stir in lime juice.

* Divide mixture evenly among warm tortillas and roll up.  Serve with sour cream.

* Garnish with green salsa & cilantro sprigs, if desired.

The Final Verdict: Awesome!  It was super easy to make & tasted delicious!  Marc said it was 'awesome' & the girls said 'this tastes good'...not too bad coming from my picky eaters!  It had a wonderful flavor & wasn't too spicy like some fajitas I've had in the past.  And I didn't even notice a difference by using lemon juice instead of lime juice.  I served it with Mexican rice & it turned out to be a nice side dish.  This recipe will definitely be on our 'make again' list!
