Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon table salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 ½ pounds sirloin steak cut into ¼-inch-thick slices
  • 1 medium sweet bell pepper cut into ¼-inch-thick slices
  • 1 small (or ½ large) red onion cut inot ¼-inch-thick slices
  • 12 small flour tortillas for serving
  • Sour cream, cilantro, and lime wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a measuring jug.
  • Place the sliced steak, pepper, and onion in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade into the bag. Seal the bag and massage gently to evenly coat the meat and vegetables. Let it marinate in the fridge or cooler for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
  • Prepare a grill for medium heat (375°F) or prepare a campfire with hot coals.
  • Divide the steak fajita mixture among four double-layered pieces of aluminum foil, discarding any marinade that remains in the bag. Fold up each portion to create a foil packet.
  • Cook on the grill or over hot coals until the steak is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and open each packet carefully to let the steam escape. Pile the steak fajita mixture into tortillas and top with sour cream, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime, if desired.

Notes

    • Get ahead--Slice the steak, pepper, and onions before heading out on your camping trip. Keep your vegetables separate from the steak until it's time to marinate.
    • Freeze before slicing--To make it easier to slice the steak, pop it in the freezer for 15 minutes before slicing or slice it before it is fully thawed.
    • Warm tortillas--Wrap your tortillas in foil and toss them on the grill or over the fire while the foil packets are cooking.
    • Dietary--To make this recipe gluten-free, serve it with corn tortillas.
