Steak Fajita Foil Packs
Description
This recipe combines thin slices of top sirloin with colorful sliced bell peppers and onions tossed in cooking oil and a mix of fajita spices including garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. The seasoned steak and veggies are divided into foil packets, sealed tightly, and grilled over high heat.
Cooking in foil helps the steak pieces stay juicy while steaming the vegetables lightly, blending smoky grilled flavors with the spices. The method is convenient for outdoor grilling or campfire cooking and avoids direct contact with flames.
Serve the contents of the foil packs with warm flour tortillas and typical fajita toppings such as salsa, sour cream, avocado or guacamole, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges. This allows for customizable, flavorful fajita tacos enjoyed fresh off the grill.
The recipe notes suggest adding preferred fajita toppings including shredded cheese to suit taste and enhance the dish. The spice blend can be adjusted for heat preference.
