Mouthwatering Tex Mex fajitas: juicy skirt steak with onions, bell peppers, fresh tortillas, guacamole, sour cream, and salsa.
Ingredients:
  • Marinade
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 jalapeño pepper, seeded, ribs removed, finely chopped (be careful not to touch your eyes or anywhere near your eyes after handling a jalapeño pepper!)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, including stems
  • Fajitas
  • 1 pound flank steak, skirt steak or carne asada
  • Salt
  • 1 large yellow onion, peeled and sliced with the grain not against the grain as one would normally slice an onion. Slice first in half, and then slice off sections a half inch wide at widest point.
  • 2-3 bell peppers of various colors, stemmed, seeded, de-ribbed, sliced lengthwise into strips
  • To Serve
  • Warm flour tortillas
  • Guacamole
  • Salsa
  • Sour cream
  • Shredded cheese
  • Shredded lettuce
Instructions:
  • Marinate the steak by thoroughly mixing all marinade ingredients. Cover the steak with the marinade and allow it to marinate for at least an hour at room temperature, or longer in the refrigerator. Before cooking, remove excess marinade and season the steak with salt.
  • Sear the steak to perfection: Heat a large cast iron pan over high heat. Once hot, add oil and wait for a minute. Add the steak and cook each side for 3 minutes until browned. Adjust cooking time for preferred doneness. Reduce heat if smoking too much. Rest the steak tented with foil for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Sauté the vegetables: While the meat is resting, drizzle extra oil in the pan if needed. Add the onions and bell peppers. Allow them to sear for 1 minute without stirring, then stir occasionally every 90 seconds until cooked, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Slice the meat across the grain into thin slices by cutting at a slight angle for enhanced tenderness and flavor.
  • Serve the fajitas hot with shredded cheese, salsa, iceberg lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, and warm flour tortillas. To warm tortillas quickly, place them in the microwave on high heat for 20 seconds with a paper towel. Enjoy!
