If your family loves taco night, try treating them to fajita night sometime. The combo of seared steak and sweet peppers and onions is absolutely crave-worthy. We serve the fajitas with gussied-up, creamy refried beans and seasoned cauliflower rice that we cook in the same pan as the fajita mixture (so that it picks up some of those flavors).

Instructions

1

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, stir together the beans, yogurt, and smoked paprika. Cover and microwave on High until thoroughly heated, 1 ½ to 2 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with the scallion; loosely cover and keep warm.

2

Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium. Add the bell peppers and onion; cover and cook until softened, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high, and add the steak, ¾ tsp cumin, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper. Cook until the steak is browned, stirring frequently, 3 to 4 minutes. Spoon the mixture into a medium bowl. Do not wipe out the skillet.

3

With the skillet still over medium-high heat, add the cauliflower rice and the remaining ¼ tsp each cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook until just crisp-tender, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon into a medium bowl.

4

On a large board or platter, arrange the beans, steak mixture, cauliflower rice, tortillas, salsa verde, cheese, and lime wedges.
