4 servings
For the steak
- 1 ½ lb skirt steak or flank steak
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
Ingredient noteDried smoked paprika can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the small amount in this recipe—about 1/4 teaspoon per serving—is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid smoked paprika, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ tsp chili powder
Ingredient noteDried chili powder can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the small amount in this recipe—about 1/8 teaspoon per serving—is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid chili powder, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Ingredient noteDried black pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the small amount in this recipe—about a pinch per serving—is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
For the fajita vegetables
- 2 bell peppers (any color), thinly sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp salt
For the cilantro lime slaw
- 3 cups green cabbage, thinly shredded
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp salt
For serving
- 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
- 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)
Ingredient noteThe Mold Detox diet limits chili peppers because they can pick up mold once they are dried and stored, but the peppers on this line are used fresh, not dried, so they are likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh chili peppers, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper for the steak. Pat the steak dry with paper towels, rub all over with 1 tbsp of the olive oil, then press the spice mixture evenly onto both sides. Let the steak rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.

While the steak rests, make the slaw dressing: whisk together the lime juice, apple cider vinegar, 2 tbsp olive oil, cumin, and salt in a large mixing bowl until combined. Add the shredded cabbage, romaine, and cilantro and toss to coat. Set aside.
