Steak Fajitas

I love Mexican food and anything that is a crowd pleaser.  Sometimes it's hard when you are feeding a crowd or a family to find items that will work for everyone.  This dish is one that you can serve to even non clean eaters and they can add toppings they want to meet their needs.  


Steak Fajitas 
Serves: 4 (2 fajitas each) 

Ingredients: 
1 1/2 tsp olive oil 
2 medium peppers (green, yellow or red) cut into strips 
1 medium onion sliced 
2 cloves garlic chopped 
1 lb raw extra lean beef sirloin cut into 2-inch strips 
1 tsp ground chili powder 
1 tsp ground cumin 
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes 
1/2 tsp sea salt 
1/2 cup salsa 
8 6-inch corn tortillas 
4 Tbsp plain greek yogurt 
optional: 
1/4 cup fresh cilantro 
lime wedges 

Directions: 
1. Heat oil in large non stick skillet over medium high heat 
2. Add bell peppers, onion and cook for 5 - 6 minutes or until tender
3. Add garlic, cook for 1 minute
4. Add beef, chili powder, cumin, pepper flakes, salt and cook for 7-8 minutes or until meat is no longer pink 
5. Evenly top each tortilla with beef mixture, add salsa, yogurt, cilantro and serve with a lime wedge

Recipe adapted from Fixate cookbook.  If following the 21 day fix 2 fajitas counts as 1 green, 1 yellow, 1 red and 1 tsp.
