Steak Fajitas With A Twist

Fajitas are easy to make and I have a simple recipe for new dads that will make it even easier. They are also fun to make with your children.

Ingredients

Sirloin Roast (Or Chuck)
Mixed bag of mini colored peppers
One Onion (Sweet or Red)
3 tsps. of Cumin
1 tsp of Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp Paprika
Cracked Pepper and Salt to flavor (1-2 tsps.)
3 cloves of garlic
Olive Oil (1 - 2 tsp)
8 oz of Sharp Cheddar Cheese (Grated)
Salsa (Try our Salsa Recipe or use a commercial salsa)
Sour Cream
Tortillas (Any Type)

Fajita Mix (Packet or Make your own below)

2 tsps. cracked pepper
1 tsp salt
2 tsps. of chili powder
2 tsps. of Paprika
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp of cayenne pepper

Garnish

Lime
Cilantro


In a crock pot set the sirloin roast in the middle. Create 3 incisions on the top of the roast for the garlic cloves. Coat the roast with olive oil. (This will allow for the seasonings to permeate the roast) Next, coat the top with the seasonings. Slow cook the roast while you are at work for 6-8 hours.

When you arrive home, the rest is simple. Using a cutting board, slice the mini peppers in half. (Remember to chop the tops off) Slice the onion in larger pieces similar to the mini peppers. Keep them the layer of one ring of onion. Grate the cheese and prepare the salsa and sour cream and set aside.

The sirloin roast will be stringy. No worries, that is what you want. Disassemble the roast and place in a fry pan along with the onions and peppers. Add the fajita mix. On a separate burner, set the burner to  a medium to medium high heat. If you have an induction stove or a stove that runs hot, just use a medium heat. Bring the onions and peppers to a soft skin consistency while sautéing with the meat.

In another separate pan, heat some oil (any oil) at a medium heat. You will want to heat the tortillas for a minute on one side. This will help provide a firmness to the tortilla.

You can cook the meat separately, or broil the meat for a crispier texture if you would like.

Add the steak in the center of the tortilla as a base. Next add any ingredients you want to the recipe and you have steak fajitas for you and your children.
