  1. merely a basic hygiene check: Wash your hands and roll up your sleeves before diving into the culinary adventure.
  2. Slice the Flankensteak into strips and smother it with Fajita seasoning. Set it aside, eagerly awaiting its turn in the skillet.
  3. Preheat your trusty cast iron pan over medium-high heat and add a smidgen of oil. With a careful hand, transfer the seasoned beef to the hot pan. Cook for a few minutes, turning it occasionally to achieve a golden crust.
  4. If mushrooms are your shroomboogie, sauté them in a separate skillet. Sprinkle them with a little salt for an extra burst of flavor and cook until they're tender.
  5. Give your tortillas some time in the oven to soften up. A quick stint in there should do the trick.
  6. Start filling those tortillas with heavenly goodness. Spoon the cooked beef, mushrooms, and beans into each one, using tongs to fold and seal the burritos like a pro.
  7. Drizzle your tacos or burritos with dairy-free salsa, adding just the right amount of zest. Serve them with a side of low-sugar rice and bean salad.
  8. Use your favorite utensils, from measuring spoons to pyrex bowls, to ensure leftovers are stored safely. If you'd rather, pan-fry the beef instead of using the cast iron skillet on the stovetop.
  9. Enjoy this high-protein, scrumptious dinner that's perfect for watch parties or a quick dinner at home!
