Safeway is selling top choice, “Rancher’s Reserve Angus” top sirloin, in the value pack, for $2.49 a pound this week. It’s a great deal and gets me thinking about fajitas.

Prep:
Slice up 1 medium onion, 1 red pepper, ¾ pound of top sirloin into thin long strips. Cut 1 lime in half. Chop 2 chipotles. There is additional prep items in the “Serve” section below.

Cook:
Open the windows and turn on a fan. Heat up a cast iron skillet until it is rocket hot… if it isn’t hot enough, the meat will lose all of its juice. Put the meat in the pan and cook, turning each strip just once, cooking until brown. When cooked, move the meat into a bowl and set aside. Put the onion in the pan and just when it starts to brown on the edges, add the red pepper. When the onion is carmelized, throw the meat back into the pan. Add the chipotle and the juice from ½ of the lime and a healthy pinch of salt. (A great addition if you have it, is a shot of tequila with the lime juice!)

Serve
Flour tortillas, salsa, diced tomatoes, grated cheese, shredded lettuce, refried beans… whatever strikes your fancy.
