Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Flank steak
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Tequila
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 Bell peppers (assorted colors), thinly sliced
- 1 Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 8 Flour tortillas
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Guacamole
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, tequila, honey, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the steak. Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Discard the marinade.
Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy: 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, and 155°F for medium-well.
Transfer the cooked steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
While the steak is resting, heat a little oil in the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave, as per your preference.
To assemble the fajitas, place a few slices of steak and a generous portion of sautéed peppers and onions onto a warm tortilla. Top with sour cream, guacamole, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick!
