“This is a classic recipe that my grandmother used to make back in the late 1940s and early 1950s.”

These steak fajitas bring together tender sirloin, colorful peppers, and irresistible spices for a fast, flavorful meal that’s perfect any night of the week. It’s simple, satisfying, and full of that nostalgic, home-cooked charm.

Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Sirloin steak (thinly sliced) 2 pounds
Red bell pepper (thinly sliced) 1
Yellow bell pepper (thinly sliced) 1
Green bell pepper (thinly sliced) 1
Yellow onion (thinly sliced) 1 large
Lime juice 1 tbsp
Chili powder ½ tsp
Cayenne pepper ⅛ tsp
Minced garlic 2 cloves
Mexican blend cheese (grated) 2 cups
Tortillas 6–8
Olive oil 2 tbsp (divided)

Instructions:
In a zip-top bag, combine the thinly sliced steak with chili powder, cayenne, lime juice, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Seal the bag and shake until the meat is evenly coated.
Add the sliced peppers and onion to the same bag. Reseal and shake again so the vegetables are fully seasoned.
Warm the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Pour the entire contents of the bag into the skillet. Cook until the vegetables soften slightly and the steak reaches the doneness you prefer.
Warm the tortillas following the instructions on the package.
Spoon the hot steak and vegetables into the tortillas. Finish with grated Mexican blend cheese and any extras you like, such as salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
