Summer is almost here and that means summer foods.

Cooking is one thing I love to do because I love taking a bunch of foods and spices and making a meal from it.

Lately, the weather has been hot with warm breezes and lots of sunshine (oh I love it)! And with the weather feeling like I am at the beach, I am drawn to make a vacation meal - chili lime steak fajitas.

These were oh-so-easy, everyone loved them and it only took about 45 minutes to do everything.

I found this recipe through Pinterest and made a few adjustments. If you would like the original recipe, the link is here

Chili Lime Steak Fajitas

What You'll Need:

- 2 and 1/2 pounds of steak (I used a rump)

- 3 multi-colored bell peppers

- 1 onion

- 1/3 cup of lime juice

- 2 tablespoons of oil

- 3/4 tablespoon of chili flakes

- 3/4 tablespoon of basil

- 1 teaspoon of garlic salt or powder

- 1 teaspoon of salt

- 1 teaspoon of brown sugar

- 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder

- flour tortillas

- sour cream

- avocado

How-To:

- Cut steak into strips

- Whisk together lime juice, oil, chili flakes, basil, garlic salt or powder, salt, brown sugar and chili powder to make the marinade in a shallow bowl.

- Pour half of the marinade over the steak and let sit for one to two hours at room temperature. If you don't have time to wait, 10-15 minutes will do because there is so much flavor!

- While the steak is marinading, wash and cut the bell peppers and onions into strips.

- Heat one teaspoon of oil in pan and grill the steaks. I made mine medium. Set steak aside with foil covering it.

- Add another teaspoon of oil to the pan and add peppers and onions. Pour the other half of marinade over veggies and cook to your liking.

- Serve with warm tortilla shells, sour cream and avocado or topping of your choice!
