Fajita Pita
- 2 Tablespoons Chili Powder
- 2 Tablespoons Cumin
- 2 teaspoons Seasoning Salt (I Use Lawry's)
- 3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1- 1/2 pound Flank Steak
- 1 whole Onion, White Or Yellow, Sliced Into Half-moons
- 1 whole Green Bell Pepper, Sliced Into Half-moons
- 2 Tablespoons Chipotle In Adobo Sauce From Can
- 3 Tablespoons Lime Juice
- 1 cup Sour Cream
- 1/2 bunches Cilantro, Coarsely Chopped
- 2 whole Scallions, Chopped
- 4 whole Pita Breads, Warmed So They Are Pliable
- 1 cup Shredded Cheese, Like Cheddar Or Monterey Jack
- 2 cups Romaine Lettuce, Coarsely Chopped
- For the Fajita Filling:
- Combine the chili powder, cumin, and seasoning salt in a bowl.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the meat on one side with half of the chili powder, cumin, and seasoning salt.
- When the oil is hot, lay the steak seasoned side down into the pan and then season the up-turned side with the remaining spices.
- Allow to get nice and brown before flipping to the other side (about 4 minutes).
- Flip the steak, and brown the second side, another four minutes and then remove from heat and allow to rest (about 5 minutes) on a clean plate.
- Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the pan and let them blacken in the pan (i.e.
- dont move them around too much, maybe stir them once or twice) for about 2-3 minutes.
- Slice the steak thinly on a bias, and return to the pan with any drippings, juices or goodness!
- Add to the beef and peppers the chipotle sauce and the lime juice.
- Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes or until your steak reaches the desired done-ness.
- For the Southwest Tzatziki Sauce :
- Mix sour cream, cilantro and scallions in a small bowl.
- Done.
- Assembling the Pita:
- Heat the pitas, and pile them up with the fajita filling.
- Top with cheese, sauce and lettuce!
- Enjoy!
