Ingredients
- 1 pound skirt steak
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1 yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)

Instructions
In a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag, combine lime juice, orange juice, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form the marinade.
Add the skirt steak to the marinade. Ensure the steak is fully coated, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum flavor infusion.
While the steak marinates, slice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into thin strips. Slice the onion into similar-sized strips.
Preheat your grill to high heat or prepare a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard any excess marinade.
Grill the steak for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preferred level of doneness. Remove from the grill and let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
While the steak rests, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and onions to the skillet and sauté until tender and slightly charred, about 8-10 minutes.
Warm the tortillas on the grill or a skillet for about 30 seconds per side until soft and pliable.
To assemble the fajitas, place a few slices of steak on a tortilla, top with sautéed peppers and onions, and add any desired toppings like salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Fajitas Arrachera Grilled Skirt Steak!
