Then, heat a skillet with olive oil over medium heat.

Saute the peppers and onion in the skillet for 1-2 minutes, or until veggies are just starting to soften but still crisp.

Variations

You can switch this up a bit to suit your preferences.

Some variations:

  • Trade the beef for chicken or shrimp instead.
  • If you are vegetarian, skip the beef all together and use tofu or mushrooms.
  • Add some fresh lime, cilantro, and mint when you assemble everything.

Store the filling separate from the tortillas in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Tips and Tricks

  • Use any kind of rice noodles you want and follow the instructions on the package when you are cooking them.
  • You could use a pho seasoning packet instead of making your own.
  • Sriracha is optional. Using it and how much you use is totally up to you.
