*Fajitas*
Lettuce-wrapped Beef And Pepper Fajitas
Ingredients:
1 lb (500 g) top sirloin grilling steak
1 tsp (5 mL) chili powder
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
1 tsp (5 mL) vegetable oil
1 each sweet red and green pepper, thinly sliced
1 onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup (125 mL) salsa
1 tbsp (15 mL) lime or lemon juice
1/4 cup (50 mL) light sour cream
8 lettuce leaves
Preparation:
Trim fat off steak. Sprinkle steak with half each of the chili powder and salt. Broil steak, turning once, until browned but still pink inside, about 6 minutes. Transfer to cutting board and tent with foil; let stand for 10 minutes before slicing thinly across the grain.
Meanwhile, heat nonstick skillet over medium heat; brush with oil. Cook red and green peppers, onion, garlic and remaining chili powder and salt, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Stir in salsa and lime juice. Mound vegetables, steak and sour cream in each lettuce leaf; roll up.
Servings: 4
*Lettuce replaces the tortillas to allow for extra carbs elsewhere. Or supplement the carbs by using whole wheat tortillas.
