It’s easy to make and easy to clean up, perfect for a lazy night at home. Mexican food, gotta love it. Read on, my brothas!

Directions:

  1. Chop the bell peppers and the onion (see reference photo for a how-to).
  2. Slice the steak into strips.
  3. Heat a skillet on high heat with a couple teaspoons of olive oil.
  4. Sautee the sliced onion and bell peppers for about 5 minutes (until tender).
  5. Transfer the onion and bell peppers out of the skillet and onto a plate (or separate skillet, as pictured). Keep the heat on and put the steak strips into the same hot skillet. Let cook for 10 minutes (or until browned).
  6. Drain juice from the skillet into the sink and return to heat.
  7. Add fajita seasoning and about 1/4 cup water. Let boil uncovered for about 2 minutes.
  8. Add the onion and peppers back into the skillet. Cook together for another 5 minutes.
  9. Assemble the fajita and serve!

That’s it! My personal favorite accompaniment is Tapatio and sour cream. I’m gunna go eat now. Enjoy, dudes!

    Made these tonight and they were delicious! A great tip I received from Jeff’s dad (the ultimate man-cook) cut the meat cross-grain as flap steak can get chewy if you over cook it. Followed his advice and the meat was very tender! Also a little Mexican tip for heating tortillas, put them straight on the burner over medium heat for about 20 seconds each side instead of putting them in the oven. Great recipe! I will definately add it to my arsenal.
