My family likes garlic, so I dreamed up this delicious marinade for our summer fajita dinners. The marinade only needs 8 hours to work its magic, but it’s even better left overnight. Try it on chicken breasts, too.—Karyn "Kiki" Power, Arlington, Texas

Sizzling Tex-Mex Fajitas Recipe

Prep: 30 min. + marinating Grill: 10 min.

Yield: 6 Servings

30 10 40

Ingredients

1/3 cup beef broth
1/4 cup lime juice
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 envelope savory herb with garlic soup mix, divided
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon Liquid Smoke, optional
2 pounds beef skirt steak, cut into 4 to 6-inch portions
2 large onions, sliced
1 medium green pepper, sliced
1 medium sweet yellow pepper, sliced
12 flour tortillas (8 inches)
Salsa, shredded cheese, guacamole and sour cream, optional

Directions

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the broth, lime juice, 1 tablespoon oil, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, 1 teaspoon soup mix, mustard, pepper, cayenne and Liquid Smoke if desired. Add the steaks; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
In a large bowl, combine onions, green pepper, yellow pepper and remaining oil and soup mix. Place half of mixture on each of two double thicknesses of heavy-duty foil (about 12 in. square). Fold foil around vegetables and seal tightly.
Drain beef and discard marinade. Grill steaks and vegetable packets, covered, over medium heat for 10-13 minutes or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°) and vegetables are tender, turning steaks once.
Open foil packets carefully to allow steam to escape. Thinly slice steaks; place beef and vegetables on tortillas. Serve with salsa, cheese, guacamole and sour cream if desired. Yield: 6 servings.

I can't eat beef so I used chicken instead and OMG did it come out awesome!

I substituted chicken broth for the beef broth and substituted 2 Tbsp. dried minced onions for the garlic soup powder. My husband can't stop raving! FYI, crack a window, made the whole house smell of fajitas!

Great flavor. We've added to our list of fajita recipes. We used a flat iron steak and it came out very tender.

The 1st time I used Flank Steak instead, skirt steak was too tough when I tried it the 2nd time.
