Ingredients
  

  • ½ lb fajita meat
  • ½ medium red onion
  • ¼ lime
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • salt to taste
  • olive oil for cooking

Instructions
 

  • Turn your skillet on to medium-high heat and drizzle some olive oil into the skillet. While the skillet is heating, chop your onion into wedges.
  • When the skillet is hot add the onions. They should sizzle on contact.
  • Let onions cook for 2-3 minutes until they become translucent.
  • Add the fajita meat and a little more olive oil. While the meat is cooking add the garlic powder fresh cilantro and lime.
  • Cook for 8-10 min or until the meat has a nice caramelly color to it.

Notes

If you can, use cast iron. Cast iron makes amazing fajitas! I am telling you, it will make you restaurant quality meat.
For the seasoning, if you don't have fresh cilantro you can definitely substitute dried cilantro but you will need to use less. You will need to reduce it to 1 teaspoon.
Make sure that your skillet is already hot when you start cooking. This will help the cooking process to go faster and the onions and meat to get nicely seared.
