Ingredients:

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3 bell peppers (red, green, and yellow), sliced into strips
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 8 flour tortillas (medium size)

Instructions:

  1. Slice the bell peppers and onions into uniform strips. In a small bowl, whisk together the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until mahogany-colored and no longer pink. Drain all but one tablespoon of grease from the pan.
  3. Increase heat to high. Add sliced onions and bell peppers; sauté for 4–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until edges are charred but vegetables retain a slight snap.
  4. Sprinkle the fajita seasoning over the mixture and stir constantly for 2 minutes to toast the spices. Remove from heat and stir in fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro.
  5. Spoon the beef and pepper mixture into warmed flour tortillas and serve immediately.
