Seared Spicy Fajitas

Yum...doesn't this look absolutely delicious? Not only is this popular Mexican meal scrumptious, it's healthy too!

Seared Spicy Fajitas


Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 1 pound skirt steak, cut crosswise into 2 equal pieces (if too large for skillet, cut into smaller pieces)
  • 2 red bell peppers (ribs and seeds removed), halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 red onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 to 2 jalapeno chiles (ribs and seeds removed), very thinly sliced lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 8 flour tortillas (6-inch)
  • sour cream and lime wedges, for serving

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine cumin, coriander, 2 teaspoons coarse salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Rub steaks all over with spice mixture.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high; add meat (if crowded, cook in two batches). Cook 2 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board. Tent steaks with aluminum foil, and let rest at least 5 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, reduce heat to medium; add bell peppers, onion, and chiles; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add lime juice, and stir, scraping up browned bits in skillet.
  4. Stack tortillas, and wrap in a damp paper towel or kitchen towel. Microwave on high 1 minute. Thinly slice steaks crosswise, and serve with tortillas, peppers, onion, and chiles, along with sour cream and lime wedges.
Provecho!
