Description

Savor restaurant-quality fajitas featuring a savory beef and black bean filling, topped with fresh avocado and cilantro.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3/4 lb (350 grams) thinly sliced beef
  • 16 oz (475 mL) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 16 oz (475 mL) canned tomatoes
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Flour tortillas, for serving
  • Avocado, diced, for topping
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 1 tsp olive oil and heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the thinly sliced beef to the skillet and stir fry until cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic, cumin, and chili powder to the beef. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the canned tomatoes and black beans. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Warm the flour tortillas according to package instructions.
  6. Serve the beef and bean mixture in the tortillas. Top with diced avocado, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, you can omit the beef and double the beans. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat. Serve with additional lime wedges for extra brightness.
