Leftover Steak Fajitas
A quick and delicious weeknight meal, perfect for using leftover steak
Ingredients
Fajitas
- 1 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
- 2 lbs grilled steak
- 3-4 3-4 bell peppers or 16 snacking peppers
- 2 sweet onions
- 1 lime, juiced
- salt + pepper to taste
- 1 tsp cumin optional
To Serve
- Tortilla shells
- Cream cheese or unflavored greek yogurt
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Peel and thinly slice the onions.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot (a splash of water sizzles), add onion and toss with oil. Reduce heat to medium low.
- While the onions are cooking, julienne the bell peppers. Add to skillet and toss. Continue cooking until peppers are just soft.
- While peppers and onions are cooking, thinly slice the steak. Once peppers are soft, add steak to skillet. Add cumin and salt and pepper-to taste. Toss to combine. Increase heat to medium high and cook until the steak is warmed through. Turn off heat and add lime juice.
- Serve with warm flour tortillas. Spread tortilla with cream cheese, top with fajita mixture, squeeze a bit of lime, roll up and enjoy!
Notes
- Leftover grilled steak is key here, as the flavor from grilling makes all the difference in this dish.
- For the best fajita you’ve had, you’ll want to make your own tortillas. You only need 4 simple ingredients and a bit of extra time. Trust me, it’s worth it.
- For a lower calorie option, you can substitute the cream cheese for unflavored greek yogurt. This is also a gut friendly option, as greek yogurt is bursting with probiotics!
- I find that adding cumin isn’t necessary due to all the delicious flavour from the grilled steaks. However if you love cumin, or are cooking the meat in the skillet, definitely add cumin!
