Instructions

1. 1Combine the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and garlic powder in a small bowl and set aside. Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.
2. 2Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook 5–7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan.
3. 3Add the spice mixture to the beef and stir. Cook 2–3 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Transfer the seasoned beef to a plate.
4. 4Add the vegetable oil to the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and onion, and sauté 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly tender but still crisp.
5. 5Return the seasoned beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine and cook 1–2 minutes over medium heat until everything is heated through.
6. 6Remove from heat. Stir in the fresh cilantro and squeeze lime juice over the mixture.
7. 7Warm the fajita tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat, 30 seconds per side, until pliable.
8. 8Divide the beef and vegetable mixture evenly into 4 airtight containers while hot. Store with tortillas separately, or assemble immediately and serve with your preferred toppings.
