I'm trying to cut down my unrefined carbs so this dish has all of the goodness of steak fajitas without the tortilla. It was a delicious, easy to make and healthy option. You can make substitute with chicken, but I decided to use rib eye steak, which I pan seared in a cast - iron pan with grape tomatoes, let steak stand and then slice thinly. I made the steak and tomatoes first and while it rests on a cutting board, I made the peppers and onions in the same cast-iron. I topped the salad with cilantro, blistered tomatoes, chipotle aioli, cheese, and avocado. I hope you enjoy this salad as much as I did.
