Warm Fajita Salad
Description
This Warm Fajita Salad brings the bold, smoky flavors of a classic taco night to a fresh, vibrant plate. Thinly sliced sirloin steak sears quickly to tender perfection, paired with charred onions and sweet peppers that offer a satisfying crunch. The dish is dressed in a bright, aromatic sauce made from fresh lime juice, minced garlic, and a hint of cilantro, balancing the richness of the meat. It’s a hearty, protein-packed meal that feels indulgent yet light enough for a summer lunch.Directions
