Steak Fajitas

I have made these a couple of times now and really love them. I've made them in both the skillet and the oven, and must say that the oven is a bit faster and easier. The chipotle chili powder substitution is something I have tried at different levels--it just depends on how spicy I am in the mood to have. At any rate, these are easy and wonderful...especially with Gordo's cheese dip!

Note: in the video, I have modified them to bake the meat and veggies separately. I now prefer this as my method, but am going to leave the written part below with the steak and veggies together (in case anyone wants to do it that way, and because I don't have a new set of pix to go with new directions).

Recipe below contains my modifications.

Ingredients:

1 lb. flank steak (or skirt steak), sliced against the grain into 1/2" strips
2 tsp. chili powder (to make it spicy: sub 1/2 tsp (or more) of chipotle chili powder)
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/4 c. olive oil
1 tsp. bottled minced garlic
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 each: red, orange, yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced

8 flour or corn tortillas
if available: Gordo's cheese sauce
any other desired fajita toppings (i.e. cilantro, lime wedges to squeeze, etc)

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 400°F.  Line 2 rimmed cookie sheets with aluminum foil.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.


3. In a large bowl, stir together steak, onions, and bell peppers.  Add olive oil and garlic, then mix again until all is coated in olive oil.


4. Add spice blend from small bowl and mix until all is evenly coated.


5. Pour half of mixture out onto each prepared cookie sheet.  Spread out so that it is a single layer on each/no overlapping veggies or meat. (This took 1 regular sized sheet and 1 small, as you can see)


6. Transfer to oven and bake for 12-20 minutes, or until steak and veggies reach desired doneness.

7. Serve with tortillas and desired toppings.  Enjoy!
