When friends call to ask me for a new recipe to try, I often suggest these flavorful fajitas. Just put the beef in the slow cooker before church and come home to a hot delicious main dish. Ingredients:
1-1/2 pounds beef top sirloin steak, cut into thin strips |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin |
1 teaspoon salt-free seasoning blend |
1/2 teaspoon chili powder |
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
1 large green pepper, julienned |
1 large onion, julienned |
6 to 8 flour tortillas (8 inches) |
shredded cheddar cheese, salsa, sour cream, lettuce and tomatoes, optional |
Directions:
1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the steak in oil. Place steak and drippings in a 3-qt. slow cooker. Stir in the lemon juice, garlic, cumin, seasoning blend, chili powder and red pepper flakes. Cover and cook on high for 2-1/2 to 3 hours or until meat is tender.
2. Add green pepper and onion; cover and cook for 1 hour or until vegetables are tender.
3. Warm tortillas according to package directions; spoon beef and vegetables down the center of tortillas. Top each with cheese, salsa, sour cream, lettuce and tomatoes if desired. Fold in sides of tortillas and serve immediately. Yield: 6-8 servings.
