Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Dice tomato into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Quarter lime. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper into strips.
• In a small bowl, combine tomato, scallion greens, and juice from half the lime. Season with salt and pepper. • In a separate small bowl, combine sour cream and a pinch of Southwest Spice Blend (you’ll use the rest in the next step). Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.
• Pat steak* dry with paper towels; thinly slice against the grain. • Season all over with remaining Southwest Spice Blend, salt, and pepper.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak, onion, bell pepper, and scallion whites. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender and steak is cooked to desired doneness, 3-6 minutes.
• Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels; microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds.
• Divide tortillas between plates; fill with steak and fajita veggies. Top with Monterey Jack, pico de gallo (draining first), and spiced crema. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
Beef is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Review summary
Updated on Apr 2026- Flavor: Many loved the seasoning and found it delicious, though some wanted more spice or cilantro for authentic Mexican flavor.
- Ease of prep: Simple recipe with straightforward steps, though actual prep time often runs 30-40 minutes rather than the stated 20.
- Suggestions: Cook vegetables separately from steak to avoid overcooking the meat; slice steak very thin or into small pieces for easier eating.
- Portions: Great for two people with leftovers, but needs a side like rice or beans to feel complete.
- Cheese quantity: Nearly everyone agreed there's not enough cheese provided for six tortillas — consider doubling the amount.
Reviews from our home cooks
Delicious for sure! I added another bell pepper and some garlic to the fajitas. Plus, I added cilantro to the crema. Everything was fresh and tasty. I swear I don't know how to cook steak, but I followed the directions, and it indeed came out nice and tender. Would definitely have this again!
This dish shouldn't be labeled as a 20-minute meal. Just slicing and preparing the vegetables and steak takes almost 20 minutes. It would be much better if the steak and/or vegetables came pre-sliced. There was not enough sour cream for four people so we had to supplement. However, the fajita spice was tasty.
My husband loved the fajitas and I made Spanish rice as a side. Great flavors in the fajitas but I didn't use all the spice.
Tacos, in their many appearances, are one of our favorites. Would never consider ordering a taco as a restaurant after trying several of your variations. These steak fajitas were especially good!
The tomato and green onion (modified pico) was a nice compliment to the steak. Delicious meal!
Perfect every time this made us tender in other meals this ranch steak is tough and terrible to me but every time I eat it in the fajitas, it is really tender and delicious and these fajitas are the best. Absolutely love this meal.
All of my kids loved this meal! One of the best fajita recipes I've tasted.
DANG!! These are THE BEST of ANYWHERE! Beat my favorite Mexican food restaurants fajitas by far!! They are so healthy and hardy! Delicious tender ranch steak! Perfect flavor, not too salty, seasoning w/ A pinch of salt, and plenty of pepper was Perfect 👌🏼 Lime made everything great! All toppings YUM! This needs to be on every menu, every single week!!!!👍🏼
I was missing the southwest seasoning for the meat but I made my own mix and they still turned out great!
Can't go wrong with steak fajitas! Portions were abundant and flavors were delicious!
