Lose Weight By Eating

This Low Calorie Steak Fajitas Recipe is just 79 calories and so easy to make!

I recommend prepping the steak ahead of time and marinating for 24 hours, but you can also do this before you start slicing the veggies if you are in a rush to get dinner on the table.

Special Tip: Feel free to get creative with your bell pepper colors. Sometimes I like to get a red and a yellow bell pepper, that paired with the red onion and the green jalapeño makes for a very colorful dinner!

Ingredients

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
4 oz lean strip steak sliced in thin strips
Olive Oil Spray
2 bell peppers (I used red and yellow) thinly sliced
2 red onions thinly sliced
1 jalapeño all seeds and ribs removed and thinly sliced

Instructions

In a bowl combine the cayenne, chili powder, oregano, garlic powder and salt.
Mix well then move 1/2 of the mixture to a large gallon bag, and the other 1/2 to a bowl.
Add the steak strips to the large bag of spices and shake and squish until all the steak is covered in spices. Place in the fridge for 1-24 hours (the longer the better.)
Heat your largest skillet over medium-high heat, and spray with olive oil.
Add in the bell pepper, onion, jalapeño and the bowl of spices.
Mix together and cook until the onions and bell pepper are soft, about 10-15 minutes.
Add in the marinated steak, and brown on both sides about 5 minutes.
Serve with tortillas (or lettuce wraps for low carb) and your favorite toppings.
