Tex-Mex fajitas are generally made using skirt steak, which we admit is mouthwateringly good, but also dangerously fatty. Top round steak is a lean cut of beef with 100 fewer calories and 86 percent less fat per serving. Plus, it\u2019s still plenty juicy so you won\u2019t sacrifice any flavor. Stuff it all into a low-carb, high-fiber tortillas, which you can enjoy two of for the calories in one.<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/b><\/h3>\n

3\/4 pound top round steak, cut into 2 inch strips
\n1 tablespoon soy sauce
\n1\/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (from 3 limes), plus wedges for serving
\n1 teaspoon ground cumin
\n1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
\n2 teaspoons chili powder

  1. In a shallow dish or gallon-sized zipper-lock bag, combine steak, soy sauce, 1\/4 cup lime juice, cumin, black pepper, chili powder and minced garlic. Refrigerate for 1 hour, turning steak occasionally.<\/li>\n
  2. Remove steak from marinade and blot dry with paper towels. Lightly season with salt. In a cast-iron skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Cook steak until medium-rare, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and loosely tent with foil.<\/li>\n
  3. Add the rest of the oil to the skillet and cook peppers, onion and crushed garlic. Cook, stirring, until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 4 to 6 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of lime juice. Serve steak with vegetables, warm tortillas and guacamole.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
