[Homemade] Steak Fajitas

When choosing your steak, look for a cut that has some marbling (the fat running through the meat), as this will ensure the steak stays juicy and flavorful.

### **2. Bell Peppers**
Bell peppers add a sweet crunch and vibrant color to your fajitas. Red, yellow, or orange peppers are typically used, but you can mix them up for a variety of colors. The sweetness of the peppers balances the savory steak and adds to the texture of the dish.

### **3. Onions**
Onions are a must for fajitas, as they bring an aromatic sweetness to the dish. Yellow onions are the most common, but you can also use red onions for a slightly sharper flavor. The caramelized onions, combined with the peppers, provide a flavorful base for your fajitas.

### **4. Tortillas**
You’ll need soft flour tortillas to wrap up all the tasty fillings. Look for large tortillas that will hold all the ingredients and give you that satisfying bite. While flour tortillas are the most traditional, you can use corn tortillas if you prefer a gluten-free option.

### **5. Seasoning**
The seasoning is what makes your steak fajitas truly flavorful. For the perfect steak fajita seasoning, use a mix of spices like:

– **Cumin**: Adds a warm, earthy flavor that is quintessential in fajitas.
– **Paprika**: Brings a subtle smokiness and rich color to the meat.
– **Chili powder**: A must for that spicy kick.
– **Garlic powder**: Enhances the overall flavor and aroma.
– **Onion powder**: For a slightly sweet, savory taste.
– **Cayenne pepper**: For a little heat. Adjust according to your spice preference.
– **Salt and pepper**: Essential for seasoning the meat and vegetables.

You can make your own seasoning blend or use a pre-made fajita seasoning packet if you’re short on time.

### **6. Lime**
Lime juice is key for brightening up the flavors of the steak and vegetables. A squeeze of fresh lime before serving adds the perfect tangy finish and enhances the flavors of the dish.

### **7. Toppings (Optional)**
While you can enjoy your fajitas with just the steak and veggies, the following toppings will take your dish to the next level:

– **Guacamole**: Creamy and rich, guacamole adds an extra layer of flavor.
– **Sour cream**: A cool, creamy contrast to the spiciness of the fajitas.
– **Cheese**: Shredded cheddar, Mexican blend, or cotija cheese all work wonderfully.
– **Salsa**: Fresh tomato salsa or a spicy verde salsa will complement the fajitas beautifully.
– **Fresh cilantro**: Adds a burst of freshness.

### **Step 1: Marinate the Steak**

Marinating your steak is key to infusing it with flavor and tenderizing it before cooking. Combine your fajita seasoning with a bit of olive oil, lime juice, and minced garlic. Coat your steak in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to an hour. If you have more time, marinating it for several hours or overnight will help deepen the flavors.
