Ingredients

  • 1-2 lb lean stewing beef or sirloin tips, cut into strips
  • chipotle spice rub
  • chipotle chilis, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • corn tortillas
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 1 red pepper, sliced
  • refried black beans
  • salsa
  • cilantro
  • queso cheese

Instructions

  1. Rub the beef with spice rub and let sit for 30 mins at least.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 and put 10 corn tortillas in foil to warm. Do same for another 10 tortillas. Don't overheat (10 mins) or they will fall apart.
  3. Brown beef over medium heat, adding garlic, chilis (plus adobo sauce). Remove from heat and let cool, then
  4. cut the beef into small cubes and set aside.
  5. In same pan add 1 tbsp olive oil, cook the sliced onion and then add pepper. The fajitas stick together best when the veggies slices are long and lean. Add some water to loosen up the chili mixture if it sticks to pan.
  6. Remove tortillas from oven. Using a spatula spread some refried bean mixture on tortilla, add veggies and spoonful of meat. Don't overfill. Wrap and place tortilla folded side down on 2 inch deep baking stone. Repeat and pack tortillas close together.
  7. Spread about one cup of salsa over fajitas, add handful of roughly chopped cilantro and grated queso. Cover in foil and bake at 375 for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake at 425 for 5 - 10 minutes until cheese is browned.
