Carne Asada Fajitas Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk orange juice, cumin, chile pepper, and sea salt together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the steak, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove steak from marinade and discard marinade.
• Cook the steak until it starts to firm and is reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).

Steps:

• Make the guacamole: scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl; add the remaining guacamole ingredients; stir with a fork until combined.
• Cover with plastic wrap to prevent browning.
• Make the rub: in a small bowl, combine all the rub ingredients.
• Lightly brush or spray the flank steak on both sides with oil; season steak evenly with the rub.
• Let steak stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before grilling.
• Lightly brush or spray the onion and bell peppers on both sides with oil.
• Grill over direct medium heat until tender, turning once; the onion will take 8-10 minutes and the bell peppers will take 6-8 minutes.
• Cut the onion and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces.
• Grill the flank steak over direct high heat until cooked to desired doneness, 8-10 minutes for medium-rare, turning once.
• Remove from grill and let rest 3-5 minutes.
• Wrap the tortillas in a foil package; grill the package over direct medium heat to warm the tortillas, 2-3 minutes, turning once.
• To serve: cut the flank steak against the grain into ¼ inch slices.
• Place the warm tortillas, sliced, meat, onions, peppers, and guacamole in separate serving dishes.
• Let each person make their own fajita by placing the fillings down the center of each tortilla and adding Tabasco to taste; wrap and serve warm.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar, soy sauce, 4 cloves of garlic, juice of two limes, and olive oil. Season with salt, black pepper, white pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, oregano, cumin and paprika. Whisk until well blended, then pour over the steak. Cover, refrigerate for 1-8 hours.
• Remove from marinade and slice the flank steak with the grain in half.
• Skewer the bell peppers and onions like a kebob.
• Wrap the tortilla shells in foil.
• Mix the fajita seasoning and vegetable oil right before putting the vegetables on the grill to avoid it getting too thick.
• Grill the peppers and onions over preheated medium high grill, basting periodically with fajita/oil mixture until charred and vegetables are crisp tender. Approx 10-15 minutes.
• Move vegetables to a cool part of the grill and place steak over hottest part of the grill. Grill 3-5 minutes per side or until steak is medium. At the same time, place the tortilla packet on the grill. Turn the tortilla packet every few minutes to avoid burning the tortillas.
• Allow the steak to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
• While the steak is resting, remove the onions and peppers from skewers and chop into bite size pieces.
• Build your fajitas and enjoy! Great with guacamole and sour cream.
