Spicy Beef & Mushroom Fajitas


Ingredients (serves 4)
  • 16 oz flank steak, sliced
  • 1/8" strips about 2" long
  • 1 cup sliced purple onion
  • 1 cup sliced red, green & peppers (mix for color)
  • 1 large portobello mushroom sliced very thin
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground oregano
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (optional for less spicy)
Add onions, peppers and mushrooms in large mixing bowl. Mix spices together and set aside. In a separate mixing bowl sprinkle spice mixture over beef, turning to coat evenly. Spray both vegetable and beef mixtures lightly with nonstick cooking spray.

In large nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray, then saute onion, peppers and mushrooms over medium heat until softened about 8 minutes. Push vegetables to outer edge and add spiced beef. Cook beef until no longer pink. Blend beef and vegetables together and serve hot!

Tip: Prepare "Ropa Vieja" style by adding 1 cup beef broth and cooking in a slow cooker for 4-6 hours at "medium".
