Ingredients:
1 kg flank steak or skirt steak
2 large bell peppers (one red, one green), sliced into strips
2 medium onions, sliced into strips
3 tablespoons olive oil
Juice of 2 limes
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 small bunch fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Ready-made flour tortillas (about 8-10, depending on size)
Optional Toppings:
Sour cream
Grated cheese
Guacamole
Salsa
Instructions:
Prepare the Marinade:
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. This will be your marinade.
Marinate the Steak:
Place the steak in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 6 hours for better flavor.
Prepare the Vegetables:
While the steak marinates, slice the bell peppers and onions into strips. Toss them with a small drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and black pepper in a bowl.
Preheat the Grill:
Heat your barbecue to medium-high heat.
Cook the Steak:
Remove the steak from the marinade and place it directly on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-6 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust to your desired doneness. Use tongs to flip the steak without piercing it.
Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill, place it on a cutting board, and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
Cook the Vegetables:
While the steak rests, place the sliced peppers and onions in a grill basket or directly on the barbecue (if they’re large enough not to fall through). Cook them for about 5-7 minutes, tossing occasionally, until they are tender and lightly charred.
Slice the Steak:
After the steak has rested, slice it against the grain into thin strips.
Assemble the Fajitas:
Warm the tortillas on the grill for 30 seconds on each side, or until heated through.
Fill each tortilla with a few slices of steak, grilled peppers and onions, and any optional toppings you prefer.
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve the fajitas immediately with additional lime wedges on the side for extra flavor.
