Beef Fajitas

Lola, author of Loleta, Life&Market , brings us a recipe that will easily become a classic at dinners with friends: some rich, easy and delicious beef fajitas, which with few complications you can prepare to enjoy in style.

If there is something that always makes me look good at the table, it is fajitas . I usually prepare them whenever I have lunch or an informal dinner, or when my son invites his friends to see a movie.

The fajitas are ideal because they allow everyone to prepare their dish at will, so you only have to serve the ingredients separately to please everyone. In addition, we can have everything ready in advance, so that we can enjoy football, friends or snacks without stress.

Although I make them quite spicy because we all really like rock and roll at home, you just have to modify the amount of chili powder and omit the serrano chili to make them less spicy.

Ingredients

• 900 g beef rump or rump steaks cut into thin strips
• 3 tablespoons Trilloliva gourmet extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 onion, cut into thin slices
• 1 and a half teaspoons of ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon fine salt Le Paludier de Guèrande
• 1/2 teaspoon Nomu chili powder
• 1 serrano chili very chopped (optional and only if you like it very spicy)
• 6 -8 flour tortillas

For the garnish:

• 1 green bell pepper, in thin strips
• 1 red bell pepper in thin strips
• 1 yellow bell pepper in thin strips
• guacamole

Preparation

1. In a bowl, mix the meat with the lime, cumin, salt and chili powder. Mix well.
2. In a frying pan , brown the garlic and chopped onion at a low temperature until soft.
3. When the onion is soft, add the meat to the hot pan.
4. Cover and cook over low heat until the meat is tender.
5. In another pan , sauté the pepper strips.
6. Heat the tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds. It depends on each microwave that is heated before or after and on the number of tortillas that we heat. You can also heat them in a frying pan or paellera without any oil.
7. Serve with all the ingredients separated so that each one can assemble the tortilla to their liking, adding a little meat and peppers and seasoning with guacamole to taste.

I love to serve it with citrus water and grenadine : in a jug, put ice and some chopped oranges and limes. Add water and let cool. Serve with a little grenadine in a glass jug . It is an ideal soft drink: easy, healthy and fun that will help you calm the spiciness of the fajitas.
