Spicy Beef Mexican Fajitas Recipe

A Mexican fajita is any grilled meat usually served as a taco on a flour or corn tortilla. The term originally referred to skirt steak, the cut of beef first used in the dish. Popular meats used include chicken and other cuts of beef, as well as vegetables instead of meat.

Ingredients:

• 6 flour tortillas
• 250g beef fillet
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• ½ tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp chilli powder
• 1 lime juice
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 peppers, preferably different colours
• salt and  black pepper
• 1 avocado, peeled and mashed
• handful fresh coriander
• soured cream

Preparation:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 120C/100C.
2. Wrap the tortillas in kitchen foil, then place on a baking tray and warm in the oven until ready to use.
3. Put the beef in a bowl with the garlic, cumin, chilli powder and the lime juice.
4. Season with salt and pepper and set aside to marinate for 5 minutes.
5. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a frying pan over high heat, then add the beef strips and cook for a few minutes, until cooked through.
6. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan, then add the onion and peppers and fry until almost soft.
7. Increase the heat and cook for 5 more minutes.
8. To assemble the fajitas, top the warmed tortillas with the beef and vegetable mix.
9. Top with your chosen toppings and add the sour cream and your favourite salsa.
