SHEET FAJITAS PAN WITH GROUND BEEF

Recipe by The Leek and the Carrot

Serves 4-6

Takes 50 minutes

Ingredients:

3 ripe peppers, seeded and cut into strips

2 yellow onions, halved and cut into thick slices

2 tablespoons avocado oil

1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 pound ground beef 

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/4 cup water

2 teaspoons cumin

2 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder

9-12 small tortillas, warmed

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, optional

Fresh salsa (see recipe below), optional 

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 

2. On a large baking sheet, toss peppers and onions with oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes, stir, and cook for 20 more minutes until well-softened and browned in spots.

3. When peppers and onions have about ten minutes, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook over medium heat until browned, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low, add garlic, and saute for 2 minutes. Add water and spices, and saute 3 minutes more.

4. Serve ground beef and roasted peppers and onions on warmed tortillas with shredded cheese and fresh salsa, if using.

Fresh salsa:

1 cup diced tomatoes

1 small jalapeno, seeded and diced

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

1 garlic clove, minced

1/2 lime, juiced

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1. In a small bowl, combine all ingredients. Taste and adjust lime and salt as desired.
