Ingredients and Variations
Marinade: Lime, olive oil, garlic, and a handful of Tex-Mex inspired seasonings tenderize the steak while it infuses it with flavor. Keep a homemade fajita mix, perfect used for dressings and dips, on hand and adjust the amounts, as desired.
Steak: Skirt steak has a deep, beefy flavor and absorbs the marinade well. Both skirt and flank steak have long protein fibers for easy slicing. Sirloin is another good choice, in a pinch – use what’s most affordable.
Vegetables: Mushrooms, peppers, and onions are colorful and become tender-crisp when sauteed. Buy a pre-made bag from the frozen section if time is short. Zucchini, spinach, corn, or any leftover veggies can be tossed into fajitas!
Tortillas: Thicker, flour tortillas work best for holding all that fajita goodness together! For fewer calories and fewer carbs, serve fajitas over a bed of lettuce or use low-carb wraps. Corn tortillas can be baked in muffin tins to make mini fajita salad bowls, too!
Variations: Omit the meat altogether and make a vegetarian meal with black beans, rice, and lots of extra veggies! Use shrimp or chicken to make chicken fajitas for a lighter dish.
Toppings: Sour cream, salsa, guacamole, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapenos, black olives, and shredded Mexican cheese.
