Help..need a way to make some steak faijtas

buttercupke

I've been craving some steak faijtas. I don't want the tortillas that go with faijtas but I love the steak and peppers etc. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone had some low calorie way of making them or would know how to figure out how many calories are in them I can't find it anywhere. Help me please!!!

Thanks

You can buy the fajita mix at most grocery stores (McCormick has 0 calories per serving) with the Mexican food. Flank Steak (what you use) has around 43.7 calories per oz. The bell pepper 1 cup 25 calories and onions 1 cup 64 calories a tablespoon on oil would have 120 calories.

I use a lean piece of steak and strip it out. Stir fry it with onions and peppers. I use garlic and olive oil. I put my mix on tortillas from La Tortilla Factory - they have 50 calories each and like 12 carbs AND they're good sized. I use shredded cheese and they are about 200 calories each. I can eat two if I work at it. Sometimes I add some fresh pico de gallo.

I'm also a huge fan of steak. I stir fry steak the same way I just described and put it on whole grain rice. Quick and easy.

There are frozen steak fajati kits in grocery freezer section. I use this meat with peppers and onions and put it on a low carb totilla. I also do an omelette with this, lit sour cream, salsa and a slice of avocado. Its about 130 calories for 4 oz.

I marinate a flank steak in orange juice, salsa, cumin, garlic and a dash of crushed red pepper overnight, grill it, slice up a serving and add some peppers and onions and brown rice or corn tortillas........mmmmmmmmmm

1 lb steak
1 cup oj of choice
1/2 cup salsa
1 tsp cumin
2 cloves garlic (less if you like)
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
oh, and a tablespoon of cider vinegar.

Steak (Or Chicken) Fajitas
These are so quick and tasty--you can use strips of boneless chicken breast instead of the beef. Feel free to double the marinade. The flavour is so great for such a short marination time...you can can do them up ahead of time and have the meat sit longer if you wish.
