Beef Fajitas

Serves 4

- 700g steak (eg. rump or round) cut in thin slices, across the grain
- juice of 1/2 lime
- 4 large cloves garlic
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper

OR instead of salt and pepper, add some fajita seasoning http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=2742.0

- homemade tortillas http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1756.0

Toppings:
- onion & capsicum strips (about half a TMX bowl full)
- guacamole
- sour cream
- chopped tomatoes
- shredded lettuce
- salsa sauce


Mince garlic on speed 9 for 3 seconds. Add salt, pepper & lime juice, mix on speed 3 to combine.  Add steak strips, mix on reverse speed 1-2 until well coated.  Remove to dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes or more.

Cook (or reheat) tortillas.

Saute the onion and capsicum strips in about 30g olive oil, in the Thermomix on 100 degrees, for 15 minutes, reverse, speed 1-2.

Meanwhile, lightly oil large frypan and place on high heat.  When it's hot enough for a drop of water to 'dance' on the surface, add the fajita meat.  Cook quickly until browned, remove to warm dish (or put it in your Thermoserver to keep warm).

Spread a tortilla with guacamole, add a few slices of meat (only 3 or 4 or the tortilla will be too full), and top with sauteed onion and capsicum, some sour cream (or 'dairy free sour cream', which is what I use), salsa, or whatever toppings you prefer.  Roll up, and fold up a flap at the bottom to catch the drips - fajitas are notoriously messy, but they're worth the mess!

Good work - maybe should just serve them outside with swimming trunks on and then hose everyone down?

I've just changed this recipe a bit - I realized I'd put 5 mins for the cooking time of the onion & capsicum, and it's more like 15 minutes!
