Ingredients
- 1 lb thinly sliced sirloin steak or any tender steak
- 6 flour tortillas about 10-inches/25 cm in diameter
- 6 cups assorted salad greens
- 2 bell peppers julienned
- 1 large onion sliced
- 2 tbs oil
Fajita Seasoning:
- 1 tbs cornstarch
- 2 tsp chipotle chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tsp paprika hot paprika preferred
- 1 tsp white sugar
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
Instructions
- Mix all the fajita seasoning ingredients in a small bowl; set aside
- To make tortilla bowls, preheat oven to 400F/200C. Dampen the flour tortillas with a few drops of water. Mold them to shape on the exterior of fluted tortilla shaper bowls. If you don't have the shapers, see post for another method. Bake for about 5 minutes, or until the tortillas begin to brown and hold their shape. Remove from oven and cool completely. FYI you can make a bunch of these for later use.
- Fill the tortilla bowls with about 1 cup of salad greens.
- Heat oil in a large skillet. Add the thinly sliced steak and brown. Add the onion and cook until onion just becomes transluscent. Add the peppers and fry just until they turn a bright color. Add the fajita seasoning and stir well to blend.
- Place the meat mixture on top of the salad greens in the bowl. Serve immediately
