Cooking time: Less than 30 minutes
Special options: Low cholesterol, Low fat
Course: Lunch, Main, Snacks

INGREDIENTS

485g pack Old El Paso Fajita Kit
2 tablespoons oil
600g lean rump steak, cut into thin strips
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 large capsicum, seeds removed, thinly sliced
1 lime, cut in half

METHOD

Heat a non-stick frying pan over high heat for 2 minutes. Combine fajita seasoning and oil in a bowl. Add steak and toss to coat.

Add half of the seasoned steak to very hot pan. Sizzle for 40 seconds before turning and cook for a further minute. Remove from pan and repeat with remaining steak. Return all cooked steak to pan. Add onion and capsicum, cook for 3 minutes and squeeze over lime juice.

Open tortilla pack, discard freshness sachet. Microwave 8 tortillas in pouch on high/850 watt/100 percent for 1 minute* or remove from pouch, wrap 8 tortillas in foil and heat in oven at 180°C for 10 minutes.

Place steak, onion and capsicum onto warmed tortilla and top with salsa. Wrap and enjoy.

Hint: try cooking on the barbecue. Chargrill tortillas by cooking one side on the barbecue grill for 10 seconds while cooking steak on the hot plate.

For perfect fajitas:

1. The hotter the pan, the louder the sizzle, the more tender the meat
2. Oil the meat not the pan
3. Cook meat in 2 batches to keep pan sizzling hot

* Times may vary depending on microwave wattage. Decrease time for fewer tortillas.
