Yields

9 servings

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds beef fajita-cut steak
2 1/4 cups mixed bell peppers (any color)
1 1/2 large onions, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
9 small flour tortillas
Optional toppings: avocado, sour cream, salsa, shredded cheese, cilantro

Instructions

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine lime juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Add the steak, seal the bag, and massage to coat evenly.

Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off.

Grill the steak for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain. Meanwhile, grill the sliced onions and bell peppers for 5-7 minutes, or until they’re tender.

Transfer the vegetables to a large bowl.

Add the sliced steak to the bowl with the vegetables and toss to combine. Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds.

Assemble the fajitas by placing a portion of the steak and vegetable mixture onto a tortilla and adding your desired toppings, such as avocado, sour cream, salsa, shredded cheese, and cilantro.

Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Here’s what to keep in mind when making these delicious fajitas: slice the steak against the grain for tender, juicy bites. Letting the steak rest before slicing is key, so don’t skip this step! If using a gas grill, you can get away with 5 minutes per side for medium-rare.

If you prefer more doneness, add a minute or two.

For a charred, caramelized flavor, don’t stir the vegetables too much while they’re grilling. If you want to prep ahead, marinate the steak and chop the veggies a day in advance – just store them in separate containers.

Finally, be generous with the toppings – it’s all about customization, after all!
