  • 1/2 canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1/2 lime
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 cup diced plum tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup mild picante sauce
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1/2 cup sliced onion
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
  • 2 (10-inch) fat-free flour tortillas, warmed
  • 1/4 cup fat-free sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves (optional)

Chili Beef Red Pepper Fajitas Cooking Instructions:

  • Place steak on plate. Squeeze lime juice over steak; sprinkle with chili powder and cumin. Coat well; let stand 10 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, to prepare salsa, combine tomatoes and picante sauce in small bowl. Place chipotle pepper on small plate. Using fork, mash completely. Stir mashed chipotle into tomato mixture.

  • Coat 12-inch skillet with cooking spray. Heat over high heat until hot. Add onion and bell pepper; cook and stir 3 minutes or until edges begin to blacken. Remove from skillet. Lightly spray skillet with cooking spray. Add beef; stir-fry 1 minute. Return onion and bell pepper to skillet; cook 1 minute longer.

  • Place half beef mixture in center of each tortilla; fold sides over filling. Top each fajita with 1/4 cup salsa, 2 tablespoons sour cream and cilantro, if desired.

    Note: For a less spicy salsa, use less chipotle pepper or eliminate it completely.
