Add splash of oil

worcestershire, and fry in hot skillet until browned, about 3 minutes. If
spices really start to burn, deglaze pan by adding a bit of sherry. Remove meat
to dish and repeat with second batch of meat strips, seasoning and sauteing,
and removing to dish. Add vegetables to dirty skillet, seasoning with remaining
spice mix, worcestershire, and sherry. Cook onions and peppers to desired
doneness, crisp-tender at about 4 minutes, soft at 6. Return meat to pan and
mix. Sprinkle on lime juice (and sriracha), toss to incorporate. Heat tortillas
folded in a damp dishcloth in microwave for about 45 seconds. Place a few
strips of meat, peppers, and onions on each tortilla and fold. Serve with sour
cream, and any other garnishes. This recipe makes extra meat filling to use later, chopped, in quesadillas, nachos,
or burritos.
