Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Beef Fajita Salad.
Step 1
Start by generously sprinkling the beef strips with fajita seasoning, ensuring each piece is well-coated for maximum flavor.
Step 2
In a large nonstick skillet, warm up some vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once the oil is shimmering, add the seasoned beef and sauté it for about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is beautifully browned and fragrant.
Step 4
Next, toss in the sliced bell peppers and onion, continuing to sauté for another 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 5
You want the vegetables to be tender-crisp, adding a delightful crunch to your dish.
Step 6
While the beef and veggies are cooking, prepare two large plates by evenly dividing fresh, crisp lettuce as a vibrant base for your salad.
Step 7
Once the beef and vegetable mixture is ready, spoon it generously over the lettuce, creating a colorful and appetizing presentation.
Step 8
To elevate your salad, top each plate with diced tomatoes, black beans, sliced olives, and a sprinkle of shredded Cheddar cheese for that perfect creamy finish.
Step 9
Finally, drizzle your Southwest Fiesta Dressing over the top to add a zesty kick that ties all the flavors together.
