Fajita Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2-4 hours for maximum flavor.

Cooking the Fajitas

  1. 3

    Cook the Steak

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired doneness. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    While the steak rests, warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until soft and pliable.

  4. 6

    Assemble the Fajitas

    On each tortilla, layer the sliced steak, sautéed vegetables, chopped cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and guacamole. Roll up the tortillas and serve immediately.
