These sizzling fajitas pair tender, lime-and-spice marinated skirt steak with sweet-charred bell peppers and onions, bright pico de gallo, and a creamy avocado-cilantro sauce. Assemble them in warmed tortillas and finish with a squeeze of lime for a lively, restaurant-style meal you can make at home.

Method

1

In a bowl, whisk together the juice of one Lime, 2 minced cloves of Garlic, 2 tablespoons of Vegetable Oil, 1 tablespoon Ancho Chili Powder, 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin, 1 teaspoon Dried Mexican Oregano, 1 teaspoon Salt and 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper.

2

Place the Skirt Steak in a shallow dish or zip-top bag and pour the marinade over it, massaging to coat. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.

3

While the steak marinates, thinly slice one White Onion and the Red Bell Pepper, Green Bell Pepper and Yellow Bell Pepper. Toss the vegetables with a drizzle of Vegetable Oil and a pinch of Salt.

4

Heat a large cast-iron skillet or grill over high heat. Sear the marinated steak 3–5 minutes per side for medium-rare (longer if you prefer more done). Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5–10 minutes.

5

In the same hot skillet, add the prepared peppers and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they’re softened and slightly charred, about 6–8 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm.

6

Make a quick pico: dice one Tomato, finely chop the remaining White Onion, one Jalapeño (seeded if you want less heat) and a handful of Cilantro. Toss with a squeeze of Lime and a pinch of Salt.

7

For the avocado sauce, mash one Avocado with a splash of Lime, chopped Cilantro, a little minced Jalapeño if you like heat, and a pinch of Salt until smooth or slightly chunky to your taste.

8

Warm Flour Tortillas in a dry skillet or wrapped in foil in a low oven until pliable. Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain and return briefly to the pan with the vegetables to reheat if desired.

9

Assemble the fajitas by filling each warm Flour Tortilla with slices of steak, peppers and onions, a spoonful of pico and a dollop of avocado sauce. Serve with a Lime Wedge on the side for squeezing over the top.
