Chipotle Fajita Steak Rolls

Chipotle Fajita Steak Rolls

Ingredients for 6 rolls

* Optional Substitution Note
  • 1 lb lean flank steak, cut into 6 thin strips
  • Marinade
    •  one (5oz or 6oz) can chipotle peppers in adobe
    • 2 teaspoons oregano
    • 1 teaspoon cumin
    • juice from 1 lime
    • 2 teaspoons olive oil
    • 3 tablespoons water
  • 12 thick asparagus spears, ends chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, cut into strips (OR use two bell peppers with different colors)
  • 1/3 large red onion, cut into long pieces
  • Meal Side suggestion
    • Steamed cauliflower pearls

STEPS

Step 1

Set oven to 420F/216C.

Step 2

Mix together the ingredients for the marinade.

Step 3

Slice flank steak in half horizontally in order to make it thinner.  Then cut each half into 3 equally sized strips.  Place the strips in the marinade and marinate for 30 minutes or overnight in the fridge.

Step 4

Place 2 asparagus spears, 2 slices bell pepper and a few long slices of onion on the thickest end of the strip.  Roll it closed.  Repeat. TIP: you can use a toothpick in order to close it, OR you can simply place it flap-side down in a skillet or baking sheet.

Step 5

OPTION A: Spray a nonstick skillet on medium heat and spray with a little olive oil.  Once the skillet is hot, add the rolls with the flap-side facing down so that as it sears, it seals the roll.  Use tongs to gently pick up and sear other parts of the roll.  Sear for about 3 to 5 minutes, being careful not to damage the rolls.  Place the entire skillet in the oven for 12 – 15 minutes.

Step 6

OPTION B: Alternatively, simply place the rolls with a flap-side down onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  Lightly spray them with olive oil and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the outside edges have browned significantly and the steak is cooked to your desired readiness.

Step 7

Enjoy the rolls meal with steamed cauliflower pearls for a lighter, low-carb solution.  To make it heartier, add some black beans or avocado if you’re looking to increase the fat content for keto.

By experimenting in the kitchen and sharing my meals on Tumblr, I learned healthy eating is not boring! By making a few adjustments to my favorite foods, I could design a diet that could help me achieve my wellness goals while satisfying my desire for BANGIN food! 😅 Now I try to help people around the world realize that same level of freedom in eating regardless of budget.
