Ingredients

Steak

  • 1 pound flank or skirt steak
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • ¾ teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon coriander
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon oil or butter for cooking

Fajitas

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced into strips
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced into strips
  • 1 red onion sliced into strips

To serve

  • 8 corn tortillas
  • ½ cup cilantro
  • 1 avocado or guac
  • ½ cup pico de gallo
  • ½ cup Mexican cheese or cotija cheese
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Whisk together all ingredients for the steak marinade- aside from the oil.
  • Add the steak to a ziplock bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade on top. Make sure both sides are well coated. Marinate for 2 hours in the fridge, but remove from the fridge when there is 30 minutes remaining to bring the steak to room temperature.
  • Heat a grill or cast iron skillet with the oil or butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak and cook on each side for about 3 minutes or until your desired temperature is reached. Set the steak aside to rest.
  • Wipe out the same pan and add in the oil for the fajitas. Heat over medium-high heat and add the sliced peppers and onions. Cook for about 7-8 minutes or until softened and slightly browned around the edges. Remove from heat.
  • Slice the steak into strips and add back to the skillet. Serve with your tortillas (I suggest warming them), avocado/guac, pico, cheese or my cilantro lime crema on top. Enjoy!

Notes

You can absolutely swap the steak for chicken breast if you prefer!
