BEEF FAJITAS WITH ALL THE YUMMY TRIMMINGS
Perfect for a casual dinner party!
Method:
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a pan over high heat. Add beef, stirring continuously
until browned. Remove from pan and set aside. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons
oil and add onion and capsicum to the pan. Sauté for 2 minutes. Add tomato wedges
and sauté for 1 minute. Return cooked beef to the pan and add salsa or chilli
sauce and salt to taste. Stir to combine and sauté until heated through. While
the meat cooks, heat flour tortillas. Take the unopened package of flour tortillas,
punch a few holes in the plastic wrapping and heat in a microwave until soft,
about 1 ½ minutes. Alternatively, place unwrapped tortillas in foil and heat in
the oven at 180°C for 15 minutes until soft, and warm...not stiff. Set everything
out on the table. For each serving, spoon the beef/vegetable mixture down the
centre of a hot tortilla, drizzle with lime juice and sour cream, additional salsa
or chilli sauce and sprinkle with coriander. Fold over and eat as a soft taco.
