Nov
Fajitas:
2 whole wheat tortillas
3oz steak, cut into ½ inch strips
½ cup red bell pepper, sliced
½ cup green bell pepper, sliced
½ cup onion, sliced

1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tbsp. lime juice
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ tsp. chili powder
½ tsp. cumin
¼ tsp. black pepper
¼ tsp. salt
Toppings:
Guacamole
Directions: Mix together all sauce ingredients. Add steak strips, and set aside. Heat 1 tbsp. olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add peppers and onions and cook, stirring for 3-4 minutes. Add steak to skillet, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Spoon into tortillas, and top with guacamole.
Onions
- anticancer,
- anti-inflammatory, and
- supportive of heart health.
The more pungent the onion, the more health benefits it has. Onions can be stored for a couple of weeks on the refrigerator shelf but the crisper drawer is too humid. To store onions longer, you can put them in an open papered or net bag and put them in a dark, cool place.
Bell Peppers
- red,
- orange,
- yellow,
- green, and
- purple.
Each has their own flavor and unique nutrients as well. Red and orange peppers are high in carotenoids which are important for cardiovascular health, can protect against certain cancers, and support eye health. All peppers are great sources of vitamin C and potassium. The fresher they are, the sweeter they are so it’s best to only store them in the refrigerator for a few days.
