This recipe has 2 options. One includes low carb tortillas for a more traditional fajita, the other is more of a casserole bake. If making the bake, skip step three. If making traditional fajitas, step 3 is your final step

I use sliced sirloin, but pretty much anything would work, including Steak-ums (but they are too greasy for me)

I don't measure, just throw stuff together.

Sirloin steak
jar of salsa, personal preference on heat and flavor
1 large onion
1 large green pepper
sliced baby portabellas
shredded Mexican or taco blend cheese
sour cream
EVOO
Low carb tortillas (optional)

1) Thinly slice steak, or have your butcher do it. Easy way to do it yourself and get thin slices is to partially freeze the steak before slicing. Cut against the grain, then cut strips into bite sized pieces.

2) Add evoo to large saute pan, followed by peppers and onions, steak and finally mushrooms. Saute for a few minutes on medium flame.

3) Skip this if making fajita bake---At this point, your mixture would be ready for serving as traditional fajitas. Plate on tortilla and top with cheese, serve salsa and sour cream on the side.

4) Stir in salsa and continue to cook on low flame.

5) Place mixture in casserole dish and top with alot of cheese. Place in a 350 degree pre-heated oven. Bake until cheese is melted to your liking.

6) Top with sour cream (if desired)

Enjoy.
