Steak Fajitas Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Yield: 6 Servings

30 30

Ingredients

2 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup lime juice
3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 beef flank steak (about 1-1/2 pounds)
1 large onion, halved and sliced
1 tablespoon canola oil
6 flour tortillas (6 inches), warmed
Black beans, rinsed and drained and guacamole

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Cover and refrigerate.
Grill steak over medium-hot heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, in a small skillet, saute onion in oil until crisp-tender. Slice steak into thin strips across the grain; place on tortillas. Top with onion and the reserved tomato relish. Serve with black beans and guacamole. Yield: 6 servings.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
