Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Grind beef and saute in its own fat in a medium-hot nonstick skillet. Stir often to break up.

  2. Step 2

    Chop whole onion and add to beef, cooking until onion softens.

  3. Step 3

    Chop whole peppers and add to onion with cumin. Continue cooking until all the vegetables are soft. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Wrap two tortillas in aluminum foil and heat in toaster oven for 3 to 5 minutes at 400 degrees.

  5. Step 5

    Chop avocado.

  6. Step 6

    To assemble, spoon ¼ of beef mixture down the center of each heated tortilla. Top each with ¼ of the yogurt, ¼ of the avocado and a couple spoonfuls of salsa. Roll up and serve. Heat remaining two tortillas while eating the first two and repeat the filling with remaining ingredients. Serve any extra salsa on the side.

Grind the beef? I make this a lot and it's cut into thin strips across the grain...

Beef fajita is never ground, you grill it. Also you marinade it with a mix of 2 cans pineapple juice, 1 bottle low sodium soy sauce and garlic for 24 hours. Then you grill it. Try it this way. It will change your life.

Great for sliced grilled leftover flank steak. Sautè diced onions and peppers until soft; add steak very briefly, to heat through.
