I feel as if I should give you some fair warning. I have a bit of a general Tex-Mex obsession at the moment. Spring is here – some days anyway. It’s April 27 and snowing in Chicago, but yesterday it was 70 and sunny, so… (shrugs shoulders).


But the warmer days make me want to sit outside on patios. I crave margaritas by the pitcher. Or sparkling wine or sangria or any number of cold, lopsided-smile-inducing beverages. And if it’s margaritas we’re sharing, there better be tacos. Or Healthy Steak Fajitas.

And I call them fajitas, but really, what is a fajita other than a rather large taco? There’s a tortilla. There’s a meat or a vegetarian filling. There’s a topping or two. So these, Quick, Easy, Tasty Healthy Steak Fajitas are also TACOS! To be fair and honest with my readership, let it be known that I’m really making this argument because of my new taco abbreviation – tacs, pronounced “tahks” – which I’m trying to make happen. So maybe I should just rename these “Healthy Steak Tacs.”

Regardless of what you call them, Healthy Steak Fajitas are excessively easy and won’t take more than 20 minutes of your time. I used smoked paprika because I love that extra flavor dimension, but regular paprika will work just as well. These fajitas are full of color and we eat with our eyes. So go ahead and dig on in. I promise that making a second batch will be no sweat off your back.
