Ingredients
1 Tbsp Chili powder1/2 tsp ground oregano1/2 tsp paprika1/4 tsp garlic powder1/8 tsp saltGround black pepper to taste12 ounces beef sirloin, select grade, cut into strips 1/2 inch wide and 2 inches long1 red onion, cut into strips1 bell peppers, cut into strips4 whole-wheat tortillas, about 8 inches in. diameter, warmed in the microwave1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese2 medium tomatoes, diced2 cups shredded lettuce1/2 cup salsa
Serves 4
Serving size 1 fajita
In a small bowl, stir together the chili powder, oregano, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Dredge the sirloin pieces in the seasoning, coating completely. (I use a medium bowl, throw the meat in the bowl and use a spoon to stir it, don't use your hands, you'll get more mixture on your hands than the meat)
In a nonstick frying pan (I use the George Foreman grill) cook the sirloin strips over medium heat until slightly pink, about 8 minutes (George Foreman takes about 3 or 4 minutes). Add the onion and bell pepper strips and saute until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes (I take the meat off the Foreman, and cook the onions and peppers on the Foreman for about 3 or 4 minutes).
To serve, spread an equal amount of meat and vegetable mixture on each tortilla. Top with 1 Tbsp of cheese, 1/4 of the diced tomatoes, 1/2 cup of shredded lettuce and 2 Tbsp of salsa. Fold both sides of each tortilla up over the filling, and then roll to close. Serve immediately.
