Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef sirloin steak
  • 2 bell peppers
  • 1 onion
  • 4 cups tortilla chips
  • 1 tomato
  • ¼ cup cilantro
  • 2 tbsp fajita seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the 1 lb beef sirloin steak into thin strips and toss with 1 tbsp fajita seasoning. Let sit while you prep the vegetables.

  2. 2

    Slice the 2 bell peppers and 1 onion into thin strips. Dice the 1 tomato and chop the 0.25 cup cilantro; set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.

  4. 4

    Add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the skillet. Add the peppers and onion, and cook until softened and charred at edges, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Return the beef to the skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp fajita seasoning, and stir everything together until heated through, about 2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Spread the 4 cups tortilla chips on a platter. Spoon the beef and pepper mixture over the chips.

  7. 7

    Top with the diced tomato and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
