Add in steak and 2 tbsp of the olive oil and stir to combine. In another bowl put 3 thinly sliced bell peppers, 1 small thinly sliced onion and remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Season with a little salt and pepper if desired.
  2. Cut out (8) 20 inch long sheets of aluminium foil. You will use two pieces of foil for each fajita packet.
  3. If using rice add 1/4 cup of dry minute rice on the center of each packet. Then, using tongs, divide fajita beef mixture equally onto the center of each foil packet on top of the rice. Place peppers/onion mixture equally on the sides of the steak.

Continue flipping every few minutes until cooked through to desired doneness. Open up foil packet, let cool 5 minutes and then serve with warmed tortillas.
