INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Steak
1 whole wheat tortilla
1/3 cup reduced-fat shredded cheese
1/2 cup red bell pepper, sliced
1/2 cup green bell pepper, sliced
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Start by slicing the lean steak into thin strips. In a bowl, combine the steak with fresh lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the steak marinates, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the sliced red and green bell peppers until they soften slightly, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer them to a plate.
In the same skillet, add the marinated steak and cook for about 4-5 minutes until it reaches your desired doneness, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Place the whole wheat tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle one half with the reduced-fat shredded cheese, followed by the cooked steak and sautéed bell peppers.
Fold the tortilla over, pressing gently, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and the tortilla is toasted with golden brown spots.
Remove from the skillet, slice into wedges, and serve immediately while hot.
