Fajitas with Salsa & Avocado
For Christmas 2019 my Mom gave me a cookbook, specifically 'Cooking With Beer' recipe card set and that is where this recipe comes from. This sounds very good, on my to make and taste list.
Equipment
- Grill, Charcoal or Gas
Ingredients
- 1 beef flank steak, (560-580 g / 1 ¼-1 ½ lbs)
- ¼ cup beer
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 flour tortillas, (6-7 inch)
- 1 large red bell pepper, cut lengthwise into 4 strips
- 1 large green bell pepper, cut lengthwise into 4 strips
- 4 slices red onion, ¼ inch thick
- 1 ¼ cups salsa, for serving
- 1 avocado, peeled and diced, for serving
Instructions
- Place the steak in a zip lock bag, then add the beer, lime juice, jalapeno, and garlic. Seal bag and turn to coat the steak. Place in the fridge for 1-4 hours to marinate, turning once halfway through marinating.
- Prepare your grill for direct heat grilling over medium heat. Wrap the tortillas in heavy duty foil.
- Remove steak from the bag, discard the marinade and bag. Place the steak, bell peppers, and onion slices on the grill. Grill uncovered for 17-21 minutes for medium rare to medium, or until desired doneness. Turn steak, peppers, and onion halfway through grilling. Place the packet of tortillas on the grill during the last 5-7 minutes of grilling, turning them halfway to heat them through.
- Remove steak to a cutting board, cut steak across the grain into thin slices. Slice the peppers into thin strips, and separate the onion slices into rings.
- Divide the steak, peppers, and onions among the tortillas.
- Top with salsa and avocado as desired, serve and enjoy.
Notes
I would have to price this after I locate a beef flank steak so for now I will state this as a high cost per serving dish.
