Beef Fajitas -- e-w
Serves: 4

Cooking spray
2/3 lb. flank steak, cut against the grain into thin strips
1 tsp. canola oil
2 green bell peppers, sliced into thin strips
1 medium onion, sliced into thin strips
1/4 c. water
1/2 T. chili powder
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. pepper
8 6-in. flour or corn tortillas

Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Cook beef over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.

Add oil to pan and heat. Add green pepper and onion; cook for about 7 minutes or until beginning to brown. Add meat and any juices back to the pan and cook another 2 minutes.

Add water and spices, including pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer until water evaporates. Serve with tortillas.

Tip: To cut against the grain means to slice the meat in the opposite direction of the lines – the grain – in the meat.
