After moving to a new state with two toddlers in tow, I came up with effortless fajitas. They make an easy weeknight meal on the grill or in a cast-iron skillet. —Shannen Mahoney, Odessa, Missouri

Ingredients

1 beef top sirloin steak (3/4 inch thick and 1 pound)
2 tablespoons fajita seasoning mix
1 large sweet onion, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
1 medium sweet red pepper, halved
1 medium green pepper, halved
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 whole wheat tortillas (8 inches), warmed
Sliced avocado, optional
Minced fresh cilantro, optional
Lime wedges, optional

Directions

Rub steak with seasoning mix. Brush onion and peppers with oil.
Grill steak and vegetables, covered, on a greased rack over medium direct heat 4-6 minutes on each side, until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; and medium-well, 145°) and vegetables are tender. Remove from grill. Let steak stand, covered, 5 minutes before slicing.
Cut vegetables and steak into strips; serve in tortillas. If desired, top with avocado and cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

This was a HUGE HIT in my home. MY husband actually loved it! The cilantro and lime made all the difference as the flavors burst in your mouth. I grilled the steak before bringing them inside, slicing and tossing with the vegs and sauce. I also used "Frontera Fajita w/chipotle lime" sauce instead of the typical dry powder fajita sauce. I highly recommend this recipe!
