Ingredients

Fajita Seasoning

Instructions

Steak Fajita Seasoning

  • In a small bowl, mix cornstarch, chili powder, salt, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and cumin and mix well.
  • Set aside.

Steak Fajitas

  • Season steak strips generously with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a cast iron skillet on medium until extremely hot (but not smoking).
  • Add oil to pan and swirl around until shimmery.
  • Add steak to pan and let brown, stirring often. Steak should cook quickly if heat is high enough, so stir often to prevent sticking or burning.
  • When steak is browned (after about 2 minutes) - but not cooked through - add onions and peppers.
  • Let steak, peppers, and onions cook until vegetables are browned and soft and steak is cooked through, about 4 minutes.
  • Sprinkle seasoning mix over chicken and vegetables and stir to coat, adding lime juice to help coat. Add up to 2 tbsp water if needed to spread seasoning more evenly.
  • Turn off heat and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve immediately.
