A mouthwatering, flavor-packed fajita dish featuring juicy marinated steak and tender veggies.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs flank steak, thinly sliced

• 1/4 cup lime juice

• 1/4 cup soy sauce

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp ground cumin

• 1 tsp chili powder

• 1 red bell pepper, sliced

• 1 green bell pepper, sliced

• 1 large onion, sliced

• 8 flour tortillas, warmed

• 2 tbsp vegetable oil

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

• In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, soy sauce, garlic, cumin, and chili powder. Place the sliced steak in a large ziplock bag and pour the marinade over it. Massage the marinade into the meat, ensuring even coverage. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
• Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and onions, cooking until tender and slightly charred. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil and heat it over high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Add the steak to the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness. Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet and toss to combine.
• Serve the sizzling steak fajita mixture on warm flour tortillas with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, and shredded cheese.

Notes

• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
• You can also use chicken or shrimp instead of steak for a different protein option.
• Serve with a side of Mexican rice or beans for a complete meal.

Our Sizzling Steak Fajita Fiesta pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, making it the perfect centerpiece for any Mexican-themed meal. Consider serving it alongside fresh guacamole and crispy tortilla chips for an appetizer, and Mexican-style rice or refried beans for a satisfying side . To add a burst of freshness to the meal, try a vibrant corn and avocado salad or a tangy tomato and cucumber salad with lime dressing.

For a more indulgent side, cheesy jalapeño cornbread is a delicious option that complements the flavors of the fajitas. Finally, don’t forget the drinks! Serve up refreshing margaritas, mojitos, or a non-alcoholic agua fresca to round out the meal and keep your guests happy and satisfied.
