Steak Fajitas

These can be made with chicken or shrimp also! Serve with sour cream, guacamole or anything you like!


2 Garlic Cloves
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
Juice of 2 Lime
1/4 Cup Soy Sauce
1/4 Cup Cilantro, packed
1/4 Cup Tequila (PARENTS, DON’T WORRY. ALL THE ALCOHOL BURNS OFF AND YOU’RE JUST LEFT WITH GREAT FLAVOR, but you can leave it out all together and they’re still yummy!)
1 Lb. Skirt/Hanger Steak (this marinade also works well with chicken and shrimp)
1 Onion, thinly sliced
1 Red Bell Pepper, thinly sliced
Oil as needed
Accompaniments: Tortillas, Sour Cream, Guacamole

Combine the first 6 ingredients in a blender, food processor or in a bowl using an immersion blender (you can also chop the ingredients by hand and stir to combine).

 Place the skirt steak in a zipper bag with the marinade (you may need to cut it into several large slabs).

 Marinate the meat for 4-24 hours in the refrigerator.

 Add 1 tbsp of oil to a large saute pan over medium to high heat or you could also cook the meat on a grill or use a grill pan.

 Place the drained meat in the saute pan or grill and cook for 2 minutes on each side.

 Place on a cutting board and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes.

Heat another tbsp of the oil in the saute pan over medium heat and cook the onions and peppers for 4-5 minutes.

. Slice the meat.

 Cover a tortilla with desired accompaniments, meat, onions and peppers.

 Serve.
