Ingredients

Marinade:

1 orange, juiced
2 limes, juiced
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 pounds skirt or flank steak, trimmed of fat
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 red onion, thinly sliced
Guacamole, recipe follows
Salsa Fresca, recipe follows
12 flour tortillas, warm

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together marinade ingredients. Place steak in a shallow container, and pour marinade over it. Refrigerate, covered, 8 hours or overnight to tenderize meat.

Drain the marinade from the meat. Grill the steak in a ridged grill pan over medium-high heat for 4 minutes each side. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let stand.

In the same pan with the steak juices, add the bell peppers and onions. Saute the mixture for 3 minutes until the vegetables are limp. Thinly slice the steak against the grain on a diagonal.

Spread some guacamole on a tortilla, top with a few slices of steak, peppers and onions and salsa fresca. Roll up the tortilla to enclose the filling.

May also serve with sour cream and shredded cheese.

The Shiznizzle!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Did a trial run on this recipe and it didn't fail to deliver! I followed the recipe exactly, well maybe I threw in an extra... chipotle pepper or two (I likes it spicey!)Very flavorful used on both beef and chicken. I will make this for my daughter's house-warming party as I am sure it will be nothing less than a stellar success. And, absolutely yes, I do plan to take full credit for it! Sorry Tyler!Read more

Not good
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I made the marinade exactly like the recipe and the fajitas just tasted like oranges. Overly citrus taste to the meat. I... would have preferred more spices (pepper, etc) to taste more like restaurant fajitas. I used London Broil for the meat since that is what I had, marinated it for 6 hours, and the meat was very tender, but the marinade taste was not good. I also made the guacamole and salsa recipe. The guacamole was very good, but the salsa was too garlicky. The garlic ruined the salsa - I would suggest one clove instead of 3. It ended up tasting okay with the fajitas, but as a stand alone salsa with chips, the garlic would be too overpowering. I did not add the oil to the salsa either because that just seemed too weird.Read more

Tough Meat
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The flavors were fabulous. However, the flank steak was tough. I usually eat filet because I love that melt in your mouth... beef. Perhaps I should have marinated the meat longer than 1 & 1/2 hours. I will use a better quality meat next time.Read more
