Lamb and Bell Pepper Fajita Dinner

Ingredients

• 1 pound lamb shoulder or leg, sliced into 1/4-inch thick strips, seasoned with salt and pepper
• 1/2 cup lime juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 2 large bell peppers, any color, sliced
• 8 small flour tortillas, warmed
• Optional toppings: diced avocado, sour cream, shredded cheese, cilantro, salsa

Method

1. 1Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, then add 1 tablespoon of oil and swirl to coat, tilting the pan to ensure even coverage.
2. 2Add the lamb to the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through, then transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
3. 3Add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet, then add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until translucent and starting to caramelize.
4. 4Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet, continuing to cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and lightly charred.
5. 5Add the garlic, oregano, and cumin to the skillet, cooking for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.
6. 6Warm the flour tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds, then assemble the fajitas by slicing the cooked lamb into thin strips and arranging it onto the tortillas along with the sautéed onion and bell pepper mixture.
7. 7Serve the fajitas immediately, with desired toppings and a squeeze of lime juice, and encourage everyone to assemble their own dinner from the abundant, flavorful components.
8. 8Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
