Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 green bell pepper cut into strips
- 1 red bell pepper cut into strips
- 1 onion sliced
- 2 tablespoon avocado oil divided
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt divided
- 1.5 lb top sirloin, cut into strips
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce diced
- 2 tablespoon fajita seasoning
- 8 flour tortillas
Toppings (Optional)
- 1 lime cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ½ cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
- ½ cup pico de gallo
Instructions
- Prepare vegetables. In a bowl, toss peppers and onions with 1 tablespoon oil and 1 teaspoon salt into a bowl.
- Cook vegetables. Preheat Air Fryer or oven to 350ºF. Add veggies to the airfryer basket or a baking sheet and cook for 12 minutes. When done, set aside and cover to keep warm.
- Season beef. In the vegetable bowl, add steak and adobo pepper. Sprinkle with fajita seasoning and ½ teaspoon of salt (if salt is not included in the fajita seasoning), and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Toss to coat.
- Cook steak. Add seasoned beef to the air fryer or oven and cook for 10 minutes.
- Warm and fill tortillas. While steak is cooking, heat tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or until just lightly warmed. Fill each tortilla with vegetables and steak.
- Add toppings and serve. Add any toppings desired. Serve warm!
Notes
- If using an air fryer, shake the vegetables and steak halfway through the cook time to ensure even cooking.
- If cooking on the stove top, cook vegetables and steak in a large skillet or dutch oven, over medium-high heat and stir as needed. Add extra oil if needed to prevent sticking.
- Adjust the amount of peppers in adobo sauce based on your spice preference. For those who enjoy a spicier kick, feel free to add more. If you prefer more mild fajitas but still enjoy the adobo flavor, reduce the amount accordingly.
