Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Flank steak
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 cups Bell peppers, sliced (red, yellow, green)
- 1 large Onion, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 large Avocado, diced
- 2 medium Tomatoes, diced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 small Jalapeño, minced (optional)
- 8 pieces Tortillas (flour or corn)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, and minced garlic to create the marinade.
Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the steak is fully coated, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 8 hours for best results).
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Discard the leftover marinade.
Grill the steak for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Remove from the grill and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
While the steak rests, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the sliced bell peppers and onions with a pinch of salt and pepper until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
To make the avocado pico de gallo, combine the diced avocado, tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and minced jalapeño (if using) in a medium bowl. Add a squeeze of lime juice and a pinch of salt, then gently stir until combined.
Warm the tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for 30 seconds on each side.
To assemble the fajitas, layer slices of grilled steak, sautéed vegetables, and a generous spoonful of avocado pico de gallo onto each tortilla.
Serve with lime wedges on the side and enjoy!
