Fajitas





Cut steak or chicken into strips, brown in a small amount of oil, and add fajita or taco seasoning. (Or use those frozen grilled chicken strips from Costco and microwave for a couple minutes.)

Cut up bell peppers into strips. Use the green peppers as a base, but the red, yellow, and orange peppers are sweeter and will add more flavor if you mix in a few of them. Don't forget to add strips of onion too. I always forget the onion.

Cook the peppers and onions in a small amount of olive oil (or sometimes I steam them for a lower-calorie option) and mix in the meat right before serving. The trick is to get the peppers just right so they are soft but still have a little texture to them without being crunchy.

Serve in warm tortillas with cheese, salsa, and sour cream.
