Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Small flour tortillas
- 1 pound Ground beef or ground buffalo
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, julienned
- 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced
- 1 medium Lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground beef or ground buffalo to the skillet. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to break up the meat and cook for 6-8 minutes until browned and fully cooked.
Stir in the chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the meat with the spices.
Add the julienned red and green bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the peppers are tender but still slightly crisp.
Warm the small flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
Spoon a portion of the beef or buffalo mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
Top each fajita with shredded cheese, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and a small spoonful of salsa.
Optionally, add a slice or two of avocado for extra creaminess.
Fold the tortillas and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the fajitas.
Enjoy these finger-friendly fajitas fresh and warm!
