Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless beef sirloin steak, cut into thin strips
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 package (1.25 oz) fajita seasoning mix
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 8 flour tortillas (6 inch size)
  • 3/4 cup salsa, if desired
  • 3/4 cup sour cream, if desired

Directions

    Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 4 (20x18-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. In large bowl, mix beef, bell peppers, onion, seasoning mix and water.

    Place 1/4 of beef mixture on center of each foil sheet. Bring up 2 sides of foil over beef mixture so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
