Fried Meat Fajita

Fried meat fajitas are a delightful dish that combines savory seasoned meat with a variety of fresh vegetables, all wrapped in a warm tortilla. This recipe is perfect for a family dinner or a casual gathering with friends.

Ingredients

  • 500g of beef steak (such as sirloin or flank)
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon of cumin
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Tortillas, for serving
  • Fresh cilantro and lime wedges, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Begin by slicing the beef steak into thin strips. This ensures that the meat cooks quickly and absorbs the flavors well.

  3. Add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
  4. Season the mixture with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  5. Once everything is thoroughly cooked and well combined, remove from heat.
  6. Serve the fajita filling in warm tortillas. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for an extra burst of flavor.
