Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean flank steak
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 medium Onions, thinly sliced
- 3 medium Bell peppers, assorted colors, thinly sliced
- 8 units Whole wheat tortillas
- 0.5 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the marinade for the steak. In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, low-sodium soy sauce, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, and black pepper. Mix well.
Step 2
Slice the flank steak against the grain into thin strips. Place the steak strips in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Step 3
While the steak is marinating, prepare the vegetables by thinly slicing the onions and bell peppers.
Step 4
Once the steak has marinated, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak strips in batches, cooking for 3-4 minutes until browned but still tender. Set the steak aside on a plate.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add a little water if needed and sauté the onions and bell peppers for 5-6 minutes, or until they are slightly softened and starting to caramelize.
Step 6
Return the cooked steak to the skillet with the vegetables and toss everything together for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm through.
Step 7
Warm the whole wheat tortillas according to package instructions.
Step 8
To assemble the fajitas, place a few strips of steak and a portion of the cooked vegetables in the center of each tortilla.
Step 9
Top with a dollop of non-fat plain Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of freshly chopped cilantro.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy the flavorful, low-fat beef fajitas!
