Fajita Time! (Or, How to Cook Up a Tasty Dinner in a Jiffy)

Fajitas are a crowd-pleaser, and this recipe serves two, so get ready to savor the deliciousness. Here's what you need:

  • 1 lb Flankensteak, sliced thinly
  • 2 tbsp Fajita seasoning
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 8 oz Mushrooms, sliced
  • 6 Soft tacos or burritos (your choice)
  • 1/4 cup Mild Salsa
  • Beans and rice, for serving

let's get cozy in the kitchen!

  1. First things first: wash your hands and grab your chefs knife and cutting board to prepare the beef.
  2. Slice the Flankensteak into thin pieces and season with Fajita spices. Set it aside on a plate.
  3. Preheat the cast iron pan on the stove and add a bit of oil for sautéing the meat. Use oven mitts and care when transferring the seasoned beef into the hot pan.
  4. Cook for about 3 minutes, turning it occasionally for even browning.
  5. Time to cook the mushrooms. Use a sauté pan, pepper them with flavor with a dash of salt, and sauté until tender.
  6. Heat up the tortillas in the oven. They should be soft and ready for use.
  7. Spoon the cooked beef, mushrooms, and beans into each tortilla, using tongs to fold and seal them into burritos.
  8. Drizzle the tacos or burritos with dairy-free salsa and serve with a side of low sugar rice and bean salad.
  9. Use your favorite utensils, including measuring spoons and a pyrex bowl, to ensure leftovers are safely stored. If you prefer, pan-fry the beef instead of using the cast iron pan on the stove top.
  10. Enjoy this high protein, tasty dinner – perfect for watch parties or a quick dinner at home!

Remember, the key to this recipe is to wash your hands and prep your area before starting. Happy fajita time!
