Weeknight Beef Fajitas

These fajitas are yummy and easy to make. The best part is what little prep work there is can be done ahead of time.

Ingredients:
2 Bell Peppers (2 different colors)
1 Onion
12 Ounces Frozen Fajita Beef (I use John Soules Foods Brand. It's a little expensive but my husband loves it. The chicken is also good and is cheaper if you prefer that.)
4 Large Tortillas
2 Tablespoons Olive or Vegetable Oil
Salt and Pepper
Dash of Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
Fajita Toppings Such as Sour Cream and Shredded Cheese

1. Cut up both bell peppers and the onion into thin slices (This is the part you can do beforehand. The sliced veggies keep great in a gallon freezer bag.)

2. Add beef and stir fry in the oil until the onions are carmelized, peppers are soft, and very little water remains in the pan. Stir frequently to avoid burning.

3. Add a dash of red pepper flakes and salt and pepper to taste.

4. Spoon veggies into tortillas and top with desired toppings before rolling.

Note: Store leftover fillings in a container separate from tortillas to avoid sogginess.
