A special marinade gives the meat in these fajitas outstanding flavor that's always a hit with my family. It's a fun and satisfying summer main dish using garden-fresh peppers and onions. -Cheryl Smith, The Dalles, Oregon

Grilled Fajitas Recipe

Prep: 20 min. + marinating Grill: 10 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

20 10 30

Ingredients

1 beef flank steak (about 1 pound)
1 envelope onion soup mix
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup water
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon grated lime peel
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
Green, sweet red and/or yellow peppers, julienned
1 tablespoon canola oil
8 flour tortillas (8 inches), warmed
Sour cream and lime wedges, optional

Directions

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first nine ingredients; add steak. Seal bag; turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
Drain and discard marinade. Grill over high heat until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°).
Meanwhile, in a small skillet, saute onion and peppers if desired in oil for 3-4 minutes or until crisp-tender. Slice meat into thin strips across the grain; place on tortillas. Top with vegetables; roll up. Serve with sour cream and lime wedges if desired. Yield: 4 servings.

These were Amazing!! We cooked these in Cast Iron Fajita pans over an open fire while camping. Better than anything I have had in a restaurant. Everyone raved about them, they are going to be a permanant staple to our campiing menu. Other Campers were excited about the smell as well LOL. Yes we are not your typical campers LOL No Hamburgers or Hot Dogs for us.

The whole family loved the marinade! We marinated for about 5 hours and had plenty of flavor. Will definitely make again.

Meat was very flavorful. I marinated it overnight in a vacuum seal container, so the flavor was fully infused. Easy to make too!

EXCELLENT! This recipe came out of a 90â€™s TOH magazine and is wonderful! My mother had made it when I was growing up (I am now 25 and LOVE to cook, just as she did). The recipe was one of my favorites and one night I went on a mission to find it in a box of TOH magazines. I think after 4 -5 hours and hundreds of issues, I found it and made it the next day! The marinade is out of this world (I do recommend that you marinade the meat overnight) and the simple combination of sautÃ©ed peppers and onions is superb! I strongly encourage everyone to try this one! You could add any other toppings you wish, but it is not necessary with this simple yet amazing fajita!
