Instructions

6 steps

1
Slice the steak or chicken against the grain into thin, 1/2-inch strips. In a bowl, toss the meat with 1 tbsp olive oil, the fajita seasoning, and half of the lime juice. Let marinate for 15 minutes.

2
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke slightly. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil.
3
Add the sliced bell peppers and onions to the scorching pan. Sauté quickly for 3-4 minutes until they are blistered and slightly charred on the edges but still retain a crisp bite. Remove vegetables to a plate.
4
Add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil to the hot skillet. Add the marinated meat in a single layer. Sear without moving it for 2 minutes to develop a crust.
5
Toss the meat and cook for another 2-3 minutes until just cooked through. Return the vegetables to the pan, toss everything together, and squeeze the remaining lime juice over the top to deglaze the pan.
6
Serve immediately directly from the sizzling skillet, accompanied by warm flour tortillas, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
