🌟 Weight Watchers Steak Fajita Crunch Bombs 🌟

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) flank steak (or use a leaner cut like sirloin)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (reduce to 1 teaspoon to cut points)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 bell peppers (any color), seeded and diced
  • 6 medium whole wheat tortillas (for fewer SmartPoints, use lower-calorie tortillas)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (reduced from 3 cups)
  • 4 oz Monterey Jack cheese, sliced into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces
  • 12 tortilla chips (reduced from 18)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Preparation:

1️⃣ Season the flank steak with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder.

2️⃣ Heat a pan over high heat. Add the flank steak and cook for 3 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness. Remove from the pan and let it rest for 10 minutes.

3️⃣ Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

4️⃣ Turn the heat down to medium. Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil, garlic, and onion to the pan. Cook until the onions are translucent.

5️⃣ Add the bell peppers, salt, and pepper to the pan and cook for 5 minutes until softened.

6️⃣ Slice the steak into ¼-inch (1 cm) cubes. Add the cubed steak to the pan with the bell peppers and stir to combine. Remove from heat.

7️⃣ Lay out one whole wheat tortilla. Sprinkle about ¼ cup of shredded Mexican cheese in the center. Place two tortilla chips side by side over the cheese. Add a 1-inch chunk of Monterey Jack cheese over the chips, and top with roughly two spoonfuls of the steak and bell pepper mixture.

8️⃣ Fold the edges of the tortilla over the filling and press to seal.

9️⃣ Place the filled tortillas seam side down on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

🔟 Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese is melted.

1️⃣1️⃣ Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
