HEB Style Beef Fajitas

This is a favorite recipe in our house and is adapted from an HEB recipe. I changed it up a little bit and used beef instead of chicken and added in some veggies.

So here's what you'll need:

Hill Country Fare seasoned beef for fajitas
1/2 small yellow onion
1/2 medium red bell pepper
2 cups baby spinach
Texas Pepper Works candy-krisp jalapenos
4 tbs sour cream
8 flour tortillas


To create yumminess:

Cut the beef into slices, the width of your choice. I also cut off a lot of the fat (but not all) to lower the fat content.

 Slice the onion and red peppers. For the onion I cut it in half first, just to make the pieces smaller.

 Next brown the fajita meat over medium high heat. It took me about 15-20 minutes and they were cooked about medium well (how my husband prefers). You can use your own judgement in this area.

Now you can start to put together your fajita. If you want you can microwave your tortillas to make them easier to fold. I recommend about twenty seconds. Then add about a quarter cup of spinach.

Add your onions and peppers, according to your preference.

 Add some jalapenos. I did about four slices but you can do more or less. These can also be a tad on the spicy side so if you want something with less kick, try using sweet jalapenos instead of candied.

Add a dollop of sour cream and several strips of beef (any more than three narrow strips will cause some difficulty when wrapping the fajita).

Folding can be a little tricky. The easiest way I find to do is to move all the ingredients to one side of the tortilla then fold that end over, tuck in the corners and finish rolling.

And there you have it! I served ours up with a cup of strawberries each to get in our fruit. It makes for a quick, easy school night recipe that doesn't cost too terribly much in the calorie count. Enjoy y'all!
