Steak Fajitas and Roasted Red Pepper Dip

Boy oh Boy do I have a dinner planned for you.  This is SUPER easy and I even used some leftovers to make it.

Tonight we are dining on last night's pork steak.  You can use beef steak or even chicken to make fajitas, but why go and cook something new when we had 3 steaks left over from last night?  The pork will add an extra point or two into the equation for all you hard core weight watchers, but use what ya got!  Here's the skinny on a steak fajita (I will disclose that LEAN flank steak was used to create these facts, but if you are making a menu for next week, this could be something to buy)

***1/2 Cup of Fajita Mixins is quite a bit--even though it doesn't sound like it.

To put my Leftovers Pork Fajitas together I used:
3 Grilled Pork Steaks
1 Large Green Bell Pepper
4 Small Sweet Peppers *red, yellow, orange
1 Large Onion
2 Tbsp Canola Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste


I sliced the steak very VERY thin.  I will use 2 tbsp of canola oil to sautee my peppers and onions til the onions become clear.  I will add my steak into the onions about half way through so the meat can start soaking up the flavor of everything else.  I will sprinkle on some salt and pepper to taste, but I am going to let the peppers and onions really give the flavor instead of other seasonings. Top with what ever you like as long as you keep track of it all.

I also made a Roasted Red Pepper Dip to accompany our fajitas.  This was also SUPER easy to do.

To make this dip I used:
1 12oz jar Roasted Red Peppers, drained
1 cup Fat Free Sour Cream
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
Pepper to taste.

**In a blender combine roasted peppers, sour cream, garlic, salt, and pepper.  Puree until smooth.
Makes 10 servings---ONE POINT PER SERVING!!!!!  
 
This has a delicious flavor that will make those fajitas SING without having to use any extra cheese or anything.  We will also dine on Fat Free Refried Beans---at a 1/2 Cup for 1 point you can't beat it!


Sounds like Heaven to me!
