FOIL PACKETS ARE GREAT FOR SUMMER GRILLING AND CAMPING:

Foil packets are so convenient for summer and you can’t beat how easy they come together.

You get a complete all in one meal, especially if you made Chili Lime Steak Foil Packs with rice. or even some potatoes for extra carbs. Plus, steak foil packs are really simple to customize with whatever veggies or protein you have on hand.

What I love about these Steak Fajita Foil Packets is that they are low carb, paleo and keto friendly –  perfect for swimsuit season!

But if you’d rather are looking for a heartier meal (like say for a camping trip), you can easily add some black beans, cheese and even some rice to bulk them up.

HOW TO MAKE CHILI LIME STEAK FOIL PACKS

1. Start off by mixing together the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. If you have a favorite brand of fajita seasoning, you can certainly use that instead.
2. Combine the olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, Worcestershire sauce and fajita seasonings for the steak marinade. Pour the marinade over the steak.
3. Slice up the steak into thin pieces or chunks and divide onto four 18 x 12 sheets of foil (you can also add a layer of parchment paper inside the foil if you prefer using parchment paper instead). Sprinkle with half of the seasoning mix.
4. Cut your vegetables and arrange around the steak. Drizzle with olive oil and the remaining seasoning.
5. Finally, wrap up in foil and bake or grill to tender perfection. (Add beans, rice or cheese if desired).
6. Serve with warm tortillas, avocado, an extra splash of lime juice and sprinkle with cilantro.
7. For a low carb, keto version, you can use these low carb tortillas, coconut wraps,or serve over some lettuce or cauliflower rice.

And if you’re not a fan of steak, it’s easy to swap in chicken or shrimp and adjust the cooking time.
