My family usues the large tortillas for the following Fajita/Burrito recipe.

Family Favorite Fajitas

Flour Tortillas
One Flank Steak
Cooking oil (I like to use olive oil, but vegetable oil works fine too)
2 –3 Red, green, yellow, and/or orange peppers, cut in long strips
One onion cut in long strips
Fajita seasoning (I have sometimes substituted with taco seasoning)
Salt and pepper

Optional toppings your family may like:
Green taco sauce
Grated Cheddar Cheese Sour Cream
Guacamole
Black olives
Green onions

Season flank Steak with fajita seasoning and salt and pepper to taste. I like to cook my flank steak under the broiler in a broiler pan in the middle of my oven, approximately 6 minutes each side for medium rare. Let it rest on the cutting board while you prepare the onions and peppers.

In a hot pan with a little oil, sauté the onions and peppers to the doneness you like with a tablespoon of Fajita Seasoning. My family prefers them to be just partially cooked so they are still crisp tender.

Slice the steak on an angle in thin slices and serve with onions and warmed tortillas. I usually serve this with Spanish rice and refried beans or a rice and bean dish.

Sometimes family members will eat this dinner as Fajitas, and sometimes they will add the rice and beans to their tortilla and eat it as a burrito. Either way it is delicious.

You can substitute chicken breast for the steak and have chicken ones too. For the chicken ones I just brown seasoned chicken breast cut into strips in the oil on the stove top before I add the onions and peppers.
