Ingredients

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. May also serve with sour cream and shredded cheese.

This has been my go to for years. It's just my husband and me now, I marinate the full amount of steak, use half for fajitas and the other half for Saturday night steak. <br />Yummy.
