Next, pat the steaks dry with a paper towel. Slicing the steak against the grain, cut into 1/2″ strips. Sprinkle half the fajita seasoning on the steak and coat the steak strips evenly. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, place the strips into the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd. Cook for 2-4 minutes until medium rare or how your family prefers their steak. Remove the steak, cover with aluminum foil and allow to rest.

Pour another tablespoon of olive oil into the same skillet. Add the onions and peppers, cooking about 3 minutes until softened. Season with the remaining fajita seasoning and cook until veggies begin to turn brown.

Squeeze in the lime juice.

Wrap the tortillas in paper towel and microwave at 10 second increments.

Serve with your families favorite toppings and enjoy!
