Servings: 6 servings (12 fajitas)

Servings: 6 servings (12 fajitas)
Ingredients
  • 1 orange, juiced
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 ¼ pounds skirt or flank steak, trimmed of fat
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 12 flour tortillas, warm
  • Sour Cream (optional)
  • Shredded Cheese (optional)
  • Guacamole (optional)
  • Fresh Salsa (optional)
Steps
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together marinade ingredients. Place steak in a shallow container, and pour marinade over it. Refrigerate, covered, 8 hours or overnight to tenderize meat.
  2. Drain the marinade from the meat. Grill the steak in a ridged grill pan over medium-high heat for 4 minutes each side. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let stand.
  3. In the same pan with the steak juices, add the bell peppers and onions. Saute the mixture for 3 minutes until the vegetables are limp. Thinly slice the steak against the grain on a diagonal.
  4. Spread some guacamole on a tortilla, top with a few slices of steak, peppers and onions and optional toppings, as desired. Roll up the tortilla to enclose the filling.
Notes
  • We would probably do this on the grill so wouldn’t have a way to saute the veg in the drippings. Maybe set aside some of the marinade before putting the beef in and use that when sauteing the peppers and onions.
