8 small flour tortillas 5. 2 cups cooked rice 6. Fireball Fajita Seasoning (see recipe below) 7. Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish 8. Lime wedges for serving 9. Sour cream for serving 10.

Instructions
In a large bowl, combine sliced beef with half of the Fireball Fajita Seasoning and toss well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Heat a large grill pan or cast iron skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef and cook until browned and slightly charred, about 4 5 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked beef to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
In the same pan, add sliced onion and bell peppers along with the remaining Fireball Fajita Seasoning. Cook for 4 5 minutes until veggies are slightly charred and tender.
To assemble the fajitas, layer rice, grilled beef, sautéed veggies, and a dollop of sour cream in each tortilla. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve with lime wedges on the side.
Chef’s Insight
To enhance the smoky flavor, use a combination of mesquite and hickory wood chips when grilling the beef.
