Steak Fajitas Recipe

Ingredients:

For the steak:

• Zest from 2 limes
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 1 teaspoon cayenne (more depending on taste)
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 4 tablespoons canola oil
• 2 1/4 pounds skirt or flank steak, trimmed of fat

For serving:

• 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• Pinch of salt

For serving:

• 1 jalapeno, seeded and thinly sliced
• 1 small bunch fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
• 1 avocado, thinly sliced
• Fresh Tomato Salsa, recipe follows
• 12 flour tortillas, warm
• Sour cream, optional
• Hot sauce, optional

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together lime zest, garlic, cumin, cayenne and salt. Stir in oil to make a paste. Rub steak with paste and place in a baking dish. Let sit at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes.
2. Preheat a grill pan over high heat. Oil the grill pan if needed. Grill the steak for 2-3 minutes each side. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let sit.
3. Toss the peppers and onions with the tablespoon of canola oil and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Add to the grill and cook for about 3-5 minutes, turning a few times during cooking, until the vegetables are softened.
4. When steak has rested, about 5 minutes, thinly slice it against the grain on a diagonal.
5. Serve steak and cooked vegetables with warm tortillas, sliced jalapeno, sliced avocado, cilantro and salsa. Also serve with sour cream and hot sauce, if using.
