Classic Ground Beef Fajitas
I love making these Ground Beef Fajitas because they are simple yet pack a punch with juicy beef, vibrant peppers, and a touch of lime. In just 15 minutes, you can have a delicious Mexican-inspired dinner that's full of flavor and color.
Ingredients
- 1 large onion sliced into strips
- 1 large red bell pepper sliced into strips
- 1 large green bell pepper sliced into strips
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 oz fajita seasoning
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro chopped
- 8 fajita tortillas
Instructions
- Slice the onion and bell peppers into strips, allowing their fresh aroma to unfold.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add ground beef and fajita seasoning. Stir and break apart until the beef is browned and fragrant.
- Transfer the cooked beef to a bowl using a slotted spoon, leaving the flavorful juices in the skillet.
- Add the sliced vegetables to the skillet, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until they are tender yet still crisp.
- Mix the ground beef back into the skillet, allowing the flavors to mingle once more.
- Turn off the heat and drizzle with lime juice, enhancing the dish with a refreshing zest.
- Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top and serve the mixture warmly in tortillas.
Notes
The vibrant colors and zesty lime in these fajitas are sure to delight your taste buds. For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or swapping cilantro for parsley.
