Quick Steak Fajitas - It's What's For Dinner

PRE-STORY:

We had one leftover NY Strip, darn economy packs, so I had to come up with something.  When all else fails, go Mexican!

DISH: Fajita

SOURCE/ADAPTED FROM: Voices in my head

ACTIVE TIME: ~15 minutes TOTAL TIME: ~30 Minutes

INGREDIENTS:

• Juice of two limes
• Juice of one orange (go to Wegman's, get their juicing oranges!)
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 packet Sauzon
• 1 garlic cloves, diced
• 1 jalepeno, diced
• 1/4 red onion
• 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 NY Strip (or whatever steak you have on hand, we had an extra)
• 1 can black beans
• EVOO
• 1/2 C fat-free Mexican cheese blend
• 1/4 C fat-free plain greek yogurt (I use this instead of sour cream)
• 1/2 Avocado (or the whole darn thing, whoever heard of leftover avocado)
• Whole Wheat Tortillas

Juice the limes and orange into a bowl.  Add the cumin, garlic cloves, jalepeno, red onion to the bowl.  Slice beef into bite size pieces - add to bowl.  Let sit 10-30 minutes.  Heat 1 Tbs EVOO  in a large skillet, add beef.  When it starts browning, add some of the marinade to the pan.  Heat for ~ 3 minutes.  When you flip the meat, add the bell pepper and black beans to the pot.  Add rmainder of the sauce.  Simmer for ~10 minutes.


While that is cooking, smoosh the avocado and yogurt together.  Smear on heated tortillas, top with meat/bean mixture and Mexican cheese blend.  Roll burrito style.
