Ingredients
- 1 lb sirloin steak cut into strips
- Orange bell pepper sliced
- Yellow bell pepper sliced
- Green bell pepper sliced
- 1 medium white onion sliced
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp taco seasoning
- 6 flour or corn tortillas
- 1 cup Tex Mex shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup homemade salsa
- 1 ripe avocado sliced
- 1 jalapeno sliced (optional)
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Slice the steak, bell peppers, and onion into thin strips. Toss the steak in taco seasoning to coat.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil, and sear the steak for about 5 minutes, until just browned.
- Add the bell peppers and onion to the skillet. Cook until the onion is translucent and peppers are tender.
- Remove the skillet from heat, top with jalapenos, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
- Warm tortillas over the campfire, if desired.
- Serve warm straight out of the skillet. Load up a warm flour tortilla with steak, veggies, and your favorite toppings, like pico de gallo, cheese, guacamole, or sour cream.
Notes
- Prep all your ingredients at home and pack them in freezer bags for easy transport and minimal cleanup while you're camping.
- Preheat your skillet. A hot skillet ensures a perfect sear on the steak and fajita vegetables.
- Use avocado oil or canola oil if you’re out of olive oil — they handle high temperatures well.
- Keep toppings simple to reduce the number of dishes — use one small bowl for essentials like salsa.
- For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of chili powder, garlic powder, or red pepper flakes on the veggies while cooking.
