Instructions
Creating Ground Beef Fajitas is simple if you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Cook Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Vegetables: Stir in the sliced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
4. Season: Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine, letting the spices coat the beef and vegetables evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
5. Warm Tortillas: While the filling is cooking, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
6. Assemble Fajitas: Spoon the beef and vegetable mixture onto each tortilla. Top with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
7. Serve: Roll up the tortillas and serve immediately, garnished with lime wedges on the side.
These steps will guide you in creating these incredible fajitas effortlessly, ensuring a delicious meal every time.
