Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Pastrami, thinly sliced
- 1 large Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 large Green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 large Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 whole Lime, cut into wedges
- 8 small Flour tortillas

Instructions
Slice the pastrami, red and green bell peppers, and yellow onion into thin strips. Mince the garlic and set all ingredients aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it warm up for about 30 seconds.
Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized.
Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly with the spices. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
Push the vegetable mixture to one side of the skillet. Add the pastrami slices on the other side and let them warm through for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Mix the pastrami and vegetable mixture together in the skillet until evenly combined. Sprinkle the fresh cilantro over the mixture and give it a final stir.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave, as per your preference.
Serve the pastrami and vegetable mixture in the warm tortillas. Squeeze fresh lime juice over each fajita and add your favorite toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or shredded cheese.
Enjoy your Pastrami Fajitas fresh and warm!
