Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place steak strips, chilies, garlic, beef broth, and 1 Tbsp. fajita seasoning in a large plastic Ziploc bag. Press all the air out and let it marinade for at least 1 hour. Drain most of the marinade into a bowl, but keep most of the chilies in with the steak. Set aside.

Notes

  • Don't drain all the liquid out of the marinade before cooking the meat; you'll want some of that delicious flavor to soak in during the cooking process.
  • Feel free to use any color of peppers you like! I love using red and green peppers along with thin slices of onion, but you could use yellow, orange, just any colors you want! These are so colorful and flavorful.
  • I like to use black beans for these fajita bowls but you can use any kind of canned beans you have on hand: pinto, kidney, navy bean, anything you like.
  • You can use Spanish rice (I like the Knorr Fiesta brand but any kind will work) or you can make your own Easy Restaurant Style Mexican Rice.
  • Top with sliced avocado, shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, diced tomatoes or salsa.
