Easy Ground Beef Fajitas

shared by Patty H. (This was easy and tasty.)
Ingredients:
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 large onion, cut lengthwise into long, thin slices
1 green or red bell pepper, cut lengthwise into thin strips
1 cup mild prepared salsa
½ - 1 tsp. chili powder, depending on taste
8 medium flour tortillas (I used Mama Lupe’s Authentic Four Tortillas, Soft Taco Size, 20 count. They contain no cholesterol and 0 trans fat)
chopped tomatoes (optional)
chopped green onion (optional)
sour cream (optional)
Instructions:
1. In large nonstick skillet, brown ground beef; when pink is gone, remove to a plate with a paper towel and drain any grease
2. In the same skillet, add a little olive oil and cook onion and bell pepper over medium heat until tender.
3. Add cooked ground beef back to the skillet
4. Stir in salsa and chili powder. Reduce heat to low; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until warmed through
5. Place a generous scoop of filling mixture in the center of the tortilla. Fold up bottom edge first and then roll sides in tightly, leaving top open.
6. Serve tortillas with choice of toppings, if desired.
Makes 8
Note: to warm tortillas in the microwave, place 4 -5 tortillas between two slightly dampened paper towels. Microwave on High for 30-40 seconds or until warm. Be careful not to overcook.
