Use leftover roast beef to make these fajitas, or buy flank steak for tender meat.

Ingredients:
2 cups of roast beef, sliced thin
1 red bell pepper, sliced thinly
1 green bell pepper, sliced thinly
1 small red onion, sliced in rings
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon salt
1 can refried beans
1 teaspoon chipotle hot sauce
¼ cup of cilantro, chopped
Taco size flour or wheat or corn tortillas

Preparation:
Heat the olive oil in a pan.
Cook the vegetables in the olive oil for about 2 minutes.
Remove from the heat.
Cook the beef in the olive oil until brown around the edges. Add the spices to the pan and stir well.
Return the vegetables to the pan, stir to mix, and keep warm.
Heat the refried beans, mixed with 1 tablespoon of chipotle sauce in the microwave for 2-4 minutes, stirring once each minute.
Remove from the microwave and stir in the cilantro.
Warm the tortillas on the stove or in the microwave.
Serve immediately.
