Ingredients

• 1 lb Lean flank steak
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 Red bell pepper
• 1 Green bell pepper
• 1 Yellow bell pepper
• 1 Red onion
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp Lime juice
• 2 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 6 Whole wheat tortillas
• 0.5 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt (optional, for garnish)
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Trim any visible fat from the flank steak and slice it thinly against the grain into strips.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix together lime juice, soy sauce, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the steak strips into the marinade, toss to coat evenly, and let it sit for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge for deeper flavor).

Step 4

While the steak marinates, slice the bell peppers and red onion into thin strips.

Step 5

Heat 1/2 tbsp of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Add the marinated steak strips to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

Step 7

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1/2 tbsp of olive oil. Add the sliced bell peppers, red onion, and minced garlic.

Step 8

Sauté the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, until they are tender-crisp and slightly caramelized.

Step 9

Return the cooked steak to the skillet and toss with the vegetables to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm everything through.

Step 10

Warm the whole wheat tortillas in the microwave or on a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side.

Step 11

Assemble the fajitas by spooning the steak and vegetable mixture onto the tortillas.

Step 12

Optional: Top with a dollop of non-fat Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for added flavor.

Step 13

Serve immediately and enjoy!
