Fajita Beef Salad

In summer we tend to want easy, light and refreshing meals. A salad could be a mean in itself, by adding a few things from here and there, that will boost the nutrition in the salad and make it a yummier dish.

This following salad is a light but filling meal for the hot days to come.
I listed this recipe in the salad section, but it is actually a jumble between a salad and a sandwich.

Ingredients:

* A bit of olive oil
* 8 tortillas / Chapaties (you find these ready made at the bakery or superstore)
* 1 teaspoon ground cumin
* 2 tablespoons light soya sauce
* Fresh green, yellow and red sweet peppers, shredded
* ½ kilo tender beef, shredded
* Lettuce, cut into small peaces
* Avocado, peeled and sliced

Directions:

In a large pan, heat olive oil, add cumin and soy sauce and bring to a simmer. Toss in the peppers and cook until tender. Remove from pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the meat and cook until tender.
Heat the tortillas in the oven, then top with lettuce, peppers and the meat. Arrange the Avocado’s on top.
You have the choice of serving this with low-fat sour cream, salsa or hot sauce.
