Ingredients
-
1 lb fajita strip beef
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
1 tsp kosher salt
-
½ tsp black pepper
-
1 tsp chili powder
-
½ tsp cumin
-
½ tsp garlic powder
-
1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
-
1 small onion, thinly sliced
-
8 oz cream cheese, softened
-
1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
-
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
-
½ cup sour cream
-
¼ cup milk (as needed for consistency)
-
For Serving: tortilla chips, warm flour tortillas
Directions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add fajita beef strips and season with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder. Cook 3–4 minutes until beef is just cooked through. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add sliced peppers and onions. Cook 4–5 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized. Return beef to the skillet and toss with veggies. Remove from heat.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, add cream cheese, sour cream, and milk. Stir until smooth and warmed through. Slowly stir in Monterey jack and cheddar until fully melted and creamy.
Fold the beef and veggie mixture into the cheese dip. Transfer to a serving dish or keep warm in the skillet. Serve immediately with chips, bread, or tortillas.
Tip: Slice beef against the grain for tenderness
Recipe Note
- Don’t overcook the fajita meat—it stays juicy when cooked quickly
