Fajita Casserole of Courtney Glantz - Recipefy

8 flour tortillas, cut into 1 inch wide strips
cooking spray
1 TBS onion powder
1 TBS garlic powder
1 TBS ground cumin
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 TBS chili powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1 1/2 lbs sirloin steak or boneless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
salt & pepper
4 TBS high temp cooking oil (vegetable or peanut)
1 bottle mexican beer
2 red peppers, sliced thin
2 red onions, sliced thin
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro
2 limes
2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
sour cream and/or salsa, for garnish

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil, arrange the tortilla strips in a single layer, and spray with cooking spray. Bake until crispy, 8-10 minutes. When you remove the strips, switch the broiler on.

2. You're going to get two skillets or saute pans going now, one for meat, one for veggies. Season your meat with salt & pepper. Mix together your spices to create a rub and put on the meat. Start one skillet over high heat with 2 TBS of the oil. Add the meat to the pan, searing on both sides for roughly 2 minutes. Add the beer to the pan and cook to reduce, 5 minutes or so.

3. While the meat is cooking get skillet number two going with the remaining 2 TBS of oil. Add your peppers and onions and cook until the vegetables are brown are the edges, 3-4 minutes. Towards the end of the cooking time, add the garlic. Add the cilantro, juice of 1 lime, salt&pepper, and toss to combine. Remove from the heat.

4. Combine the meat, veggies, and toasted tortillas together into a big casserole dish. Top with cheese and place under the broiler to melt the cheese, roughly 3 minutes. Keep an eye on it.

5. Garnish with the juice of the remaining lime, sour cream and/or salsa. Place on the table in an orderly fashion.
