Tips
- You can use skirt steak or flank steak if you can't find precut fajita meat. Slicing it into thin strips before cooking will let it cook quickly, keeping it tender and juicy.
- Use any color bell peppers you have on hand.
- Yellow or white onion is fine, either works and you'll get a similar flavor.
- Serve over Easy Bone Broth Rice with a squeeze of lime for more protein if you prefer!
How to Make Beef Fajitas without Marinade
- Slice the bell peppers and onions into thin strips. Set aside.
- Season the fajita meat with the taco seasoning.
- In a large skillet, add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil and add the veggies. Cook on medium/high until the veggies are cooked and slightly charred, about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the skillet.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil into the skillet. Put over medium/high heat. Add the fajita meat, and sear. Cook and flip over to ensure even cooking until the steak is done, about 5 minutes.
- Add the veggies back into the skillet with the steak to warm.
- In a clean skillet, warm tortillas and add to a serving board with the fajita meat and veggies. If adding toppings, add sliced avocado, salsa, cilantro, and lime.
Beef Fajitas Without Marinade FAQ's
Fajita meat is grilled or sautéed with bell peppers and onions, where taco meat is not. Fajitas usually have more simple or plain toppings, as opposed to tacos which can have many options. But, you can also add taco toppings like avocado, salsa, and cilantro on fajitas (which I love doing!).
Yes, while I use corn tortillas here, you could also use flour tortillas as well! You could also serve this fajita meat and veggies with rice and beans if you are gluten free too.
Yes, you can also make this with chicken or pork too.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. You can easily reheat for a quick and easy meal.
Serving Ideas
- If you want to add more toppings, like I did here, try avocado or Organic Homemade Salsa With Fresh Tomatoes.
- I also love serving this with chips and 3 Ingredient Mango Guacamole.
- Enjoy with rice or beans for a bigger meal.
- If you're hosting a taco party, serve alongside Garlic Lime Chicken Street Tacos, Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Street Tacos, Garlic Lime Chicken Taco Salad With Avocado Dressing, or BBQ Chicken Tacos.
