Hey San Antonio,

A reader sent this to me from the web. Enjoy!

This classic southwestern-style beef dish is a perfect low fat supper, so long as you use fat-free sour cream.
Ingredients:

3/4 pound boneless beef round, trimmed and cut into strips
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp chili powder
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tbsp canola oil
1 yellow pepper, seeded and cut into strips
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
1 red onion, thinly sliced
4 fat-free whole-wheat tortillas, warmed
1/2 cup salsa
4 tbsp fat-free sour cream
Chopped cilantro to garnish

Preparation:
Combine lime juice, cumin, chili powder and garlic in a glass dish. Add beef and toss to coat. Cover with wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Remove beef strips and discard marinade.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat tablespoon of oil. Add beef strips, bell peppers and red onion, stirring and tossing until beef is cooked – about 5 minutes.

Divide fajita mixture among four tortillas. Garnish with salsa, fat free sour cream and cilantro, and roll them up.

Serves 4.
