Steak Fajitas

Cultural Context

Steak fajitas originated in the border regions of Mexico and Texas, where ranch workers would grill cuts of beef over open flames. The dish celebrates the vibrant flavors of grilled meat and fresh vegetables, often enjoyed in communal settings. Today, fajitas have become a popular Tex-Mex staple, with variations that include chicken, shrimp, and even vegetarian options, making them a versatile choice for many.

tortillas

🥗Healthier: whole wheat tortillas

Slice the steak thinly (1/4 - 1/2 inch). Add the steak slices to a bowl along with the spices and the lime juice and zest. Mix well and set aside.

2

Preheat your Air Fryer to 400 F (200 C) while you get everything else ready.

3

Slice the onion in wedges and thinly slice the bell peppers. Add the spices and the lime juice and zest to a bowl with the veggies and mix well.

Add the veggies to the Air Fryer spraying the bottom of the Air Fryer and the top of the veggies with spray oil. Cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) for 8 minutes, shaking the basket/tray halfway through.

5

Add the steak slices on top of your veggies and spray them with a bit of oil. Air Fry for 3-5 more minutes or until the internal temperature of the steak is 54 degrees Celsius.

6

Remove the veggies and steak to a serving plate. Serve with fresh tortillas, cilantro, sour cream, cheese, avocado and limes.
