Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak or skirt steak , sliced thinly
- 1 medium onion , sliced
- 1 bell pepper (red, green, or yellow), sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fajita seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese , shredded (or your favorite melting cheese)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter (for grilling)
- Optional dipping sauces: salsa, sour cream, or guacamole
Instructions
Step 1: Marinate the Steak
- Prepare the Marinade : In a bowl, toss the thinly sliced steak with olive oil, fajita seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the steak is evenly coated.
- Let It Rest : Allow the steak to marinate for 15–30 minutes while you prep the other ingredients. This step helps infuse the meat with flavor.
Step 2: Cook the Vegetables
- Sauté the Veggies : Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers, and sauté for 5–7 minutes , stirring occasionally, until they soften and develop a slight caramelization. Remove the veggies from the pan and set aside.
Step 3: Cook the Steak
- Sear the Steak : In the same skillet, add the marinated steak slices. Cook for 3–4 minutes , stirring occasionally, until the steak is browned and cooked through. Avoid overcooking to keep the steak tender and juicy.
Step 4: Assemble the Wrap
- Warm the Tortillas : Heat the tortillas briefly on a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
- Layer the Fillings : Lay a warm tortilla flat and layer with the cooked steak, sautéed onions and peppers, and a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Step 5: Grill the Wrap
- Fold and Grill : Fold the tortilla over the filling and press it lightly to seal. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter. Place the wrap in the skillet and grill for 2–3 minutes per side , flipping carefully, until golden brown with char marks and the cheese is melted.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
- Cut and Plate : Slice the wrap in half for easy handling and serve with your favorite dipping sauces on the side. Whether you choose salsa, sour cream, or guacamole, these wraps are sure to impress!
Tips for Success
- Steak Selection : Flank steak or skirt steak works best for this recipe because they’re flavorful and tender when sliced thinly against the grain.
- Customize Your Wrap : Add extras like jalapeños, black beans, or avocado slices for added texture and flavor.
- Cheese Options : Swap mozzarella for cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican blend for a different twist.
- Grill Marks : For authentic char marks, use a cast-iron skillet or griddle. Press the wrap gently with a spatula while grilling for extra crispiness.
