Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb beef strips
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- ½ onion, sliced
Seasonings and Oil
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp lime juice
- ½ tsp chili powder
Instructions
- Prepare and heat the pan: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat in a skillet or frying pan until shimmering.
- Sear the beef strips: Add the 1 lb of beef strips to the hot oil and sear for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef starts to brown and is nearly cooked through.
- Add vegetables: Add the sliced 1 bell pepper and ½ sliced onion to the pan and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender-crisp and the beef is fully cooked, approximately another 4-5 minutes.
- Season the fajitas: Stir in 1 teaspoon of lime juice and ½ teaspoon of chili powder evenly throughout the beef and vegetable mixture to infuse a zesty flavor.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve the beef fajitas hot with your choice of low-carb tortillas or crisp lettuce wraps for a lighter option.
Notes
- Top with fresh avocado slices or a spoonful of salsa for added taste and creaminess.
- Use different colored bell peppers for more visual appeal and flavor variety.
- Serve with sour cream or shredded cheese if desired for richer flavors.
- For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
