Love,Cook and Eat

I've been craving  Mexican food lately, so What's better than some steak fajitas to satisfy this craving. This Fajitas are made with Flank steak  which is a relatively a cheap meat cut  and if  cooked right, is also very favorable and tender . You can also use sirloin for the fajitas, but why pay more if the results will be similar.



Ingredients:
Serves 4-5

1/4 cup chopped onions
Juice of 1 lime
1 tbsp. ground cumin
3 garlic cloves minced
1 tbsp. chipotle salsa
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 Lb. flank steak
2 green bell pepper sliced
1 large onion sliced
2 tbsp. olive oil
Salt and black pepper

Directions:
In a food processor or with blender, Mix chopped onions, garlic, lime juice, cumin, salt and chipotle salsa until well blended.

Put marinade in a large Ziploc and place steak in it. Let the marinade spread all over the steak close the Ziploc and refrigerate from 2 to 8 hours.

Drizzle olive oil over sliced onions and green pepper and salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.

After the steak marinades, bring to room temperature before grilling. Heat grill and grill steak on high heat for 4 minutes on each side. Take the steak off the grill cover loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 10 minutes. After it rests, slice against the grain at a diagonal angle. This way you will get the most tender strips.

While the steak is resting, heat a cast iron skillet on the grill and grill onions and pepper about 6 minutes. Add steak strips and mix with onions and peppers.

Serves with guacamole, lime crema, warm tortillas. Any of your favorite Mexican sides.
