• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 12 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

2 tsp chili powder

2 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

1 lb. ground beef

3 Tbsp water

1 Tbsp cooking oil

1 green bell pepper

1 red bell pepper

1 yellow bell pepper

1 small yellow or white onion

1 lime

4 tortillas

Directions

Mix all of the spices for the fajita seasoning in a small bowl and set aside (chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper). Then slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips and set them aside.

Brown

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and brown the ground beef chuck. Drain any excess fat.

Cook

Once the beef has browned, add the prepared fajita seasoning and water. Stir and cook for 2-3 more minutes. Transfer the seasoned ground beef to a separate plate and set aside.

Saute

In the same skillet, add the cooking oil, sliced bell peppers and sliced onion. Sauté the vegetables for 3-4 minutes. Try not to over cook the veggies. They should be slightly tender, but still crisp.

Serve

Now add back in the seasoned ground beef. Stir everything together and allow the ground beef to heat through. Finish with freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve with warmed fajita-size tortillas** and all your favorite toppings***. Enjoy!
