Step 4: Cook the Vegetables
- In the same pan, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil (you can use the leftover steak juices for extra flavor).
- Toss in the bell peppers and onions, and sauté over medium-high heat for 5–7 minutes, until they are slightly softened but still crisp.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
For an extra touch of heat, sprinkle in a bit more chili powder or cayenne pepper while cooking.
Step 5: Combine and Heat Through
Return the steak strips to the pan with the vegetables.
Stir everything together and cook for another 2 minutes, just until everything is well combined and heated through. The sizzling sound and aroma will tell you they’re ready!
Step 6: Warm the Tortillas
While your fajita mixture is finishing, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side or wrap them in foil and heat them in the oven for 5 minutes.
Soft, warm tortillas make all the difference in presentation and taste.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Fill each tortilla with a generous scoop of the spicy steak and vegetable mixture.
Top with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, and a dollop of sour cream or guacamole for a cooling contrast to the heat.
🌶️ Extra Tips for the Perfect Fajitas
- Choose the right cut: Flank or skirt steak gives you tender, flavorful results. Slice against the grain for extra tenderness.
- Adjust spice levels: Reduce or increase cayenne and chili powder to suit your taste.
- Add variety: Try adding mushrooms or jalapeño slices for an extra kick.
- Make it a feast: Serve alongside Mexican rice, refried beans, or corn salad for a complete meal.
