Grilled Fajitas with Pico de Gallo

This is a good recipe when you’re pressed for time. The beef doesn’t need to marinate very long before grilling, and the accompanying vegetable relish is easy to stir up with just a few ingredients. It makes a delicious meal.

4 ServingsPrep: 15 min. + marinating Grill: 15 min.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons lime juice, divided
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 beef top sirloin steak (3/4 inch thick and 1 pound)
3/4 cup diced zucchini
3/4 cup chopped tomato
1/3 cup picante sauce
8 flour tortillas (8 inches), warmed

Directions

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 2 tablespoons lime juice,
oil and garlic; add steak. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate
for 30 minutes.
For pico de gallo, in a small bowl, combine the zucchini, tomato,
picante sauce and remaining lime juice; set aside.
Drain and discard marinade. Grill steak, covered, over medium heat
for 6-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness
(for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium,
160°; well-done, 170°).
Thinly slice steak across the grain; place on tortillas. Top with
pico de gallo; roll up and serve immediately. Yield: 4 servings.
