Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams beef skirt steak or flank steak, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 1 bell pepper sliced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce optional

For Serving:

  • Tortillas
  • Sour cream
  • Salsa
  • Shredded cheese

Instructions
  

Prepare the Beef

  • Slice the beef into thin strips against the grain. This helps make it tender. Place it in a bowl. Add lime juice, salt and spices. Mix well and let it marinate for 10 minutes.

Cut the Vegetables

  • Slice the onion and bell pepper into thin strips. Try to keep them even in size. This helps them cook evenly and look nice when served.

Heat the Pan

  • Place a large skillet or cast iron pan on high heat. Add oil and let it get hot. A hot pan gives the beef a nice sear and strong flavor.

Cook the Beef

  • Add marinated beef to the hot pan. Spread it out in one layer. Cook for 4–5 minutes. Stir occasionally. The beef should brown nicely and stay juicy.

Remove Beef

  • Take the beef out of the pan and set it aside. This prevents overcooking. Keeping it separate helps control texture and flavor.

Cook the Vegetables

  • In the same pan, add sliced onions and peppers. Cook for 4–5 minutes. Stir often. The vegetables should soften but still have a slight crunch.

Combine Everything

  • Return the cooked beef to the pan. Mix with vegetables. Cook for 2–3 minutes. This helps all flavors blend together nicely.

Final Seasoning

  • Taste the mixture. Add more salt or spices if needed. You can also add a little soy sauce for extra flavor. Stir well before serving.

Serve Hot

  • Serve the fajitas immediately while hot. Place them on tortillas. Add sour cream, salsa and cheese as you like. Enjoy your Lupe Tortilla Beef Fajitas Recipe.

Notes

  • Use skirt steak for best flavor and tenderness
  • Do not overcrowd the pan while cooking
  • Cook on high heat for a smoky taste
  • Add chili flakes for extra spice
  • Use fresh lime juice for best flavor
  • Try chicken instead of beef for variation
  • Warm tortillas before serving
