**1. Prepare the Steak:**
Start by preparing the steak. If you haven’t already, thinly slice the flank steak against the grain into strips. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this seasoning mixture evenly over the steak strips.
**2. Sauté the Vegetables:**
Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Remove the veggies from the skillet and set them aside.
**4. Assemble the Roll-Ups:**
To assemble the roll-ups, place a few strips of the sautéed steak on a slice of bell pepper (you can also use the steak as the base) and top with the sautéed vegetables. Roll the pepper around the steak, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.
**5. Optional Dipping Sauce:**
For a creamy, zesty dipping sauce, mix Greek yogurt, lime juice, cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
### Tips and Variations:
– **Wrap in Lettuce:** If you want to make these even more low-carb, consider using large lettuce leaves (such as romaine or butter lettuce) to wrap the fajita fillings instead of bell pepper.
– **Add Cheese:** If you’re not strict about keeping things low-carb, sprinkle a bit of shredded cheese, like cheddar or pepper jack, inside the roll-up for extra flavor.
– **Add Avocado:** For a creamy texture and a dose of healthy fats, add a few slices of ripe avocado to your roll-ups.
– **Make it Spicy:** For some extra heat, add a few slices of jalapeño or drizzle with hot sauce.
So, give these roll-ups a try and enjoy a tasty, guilt-free dinner that’s as healthy as it is flavorful!
