Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds skirt steak or flank steak
  • 3 cloves garlic sliced
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon dry oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dry coriander
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or other neutral flavored oil
  • 1 ½ teaspoon salt divided
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 yellow or orange bell pepper sliced
  • 1 vidalia onion sliced
  • Fajita sized tortillas

Optional Toppings

  • 1 Avocado sliced
  • Shredded cheddar cheese blend
  • Sour cream
  • Salsa
  • Guacamole

Instructions

  • In a bowl combine garlic, orange juice, chili powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, coriander, 1 teaspoon salt and oil. Rub mixture all over steak and set in a bowl for 30 minutes.
  • While steak is marinating, season onions and peppers with salt and pepper and preheat grill to medium/high heat.
  • Place marinated steak on grill and place onions and peppers on grill in either a grill basket or grill mat (to avoid onions and peppers falling into grill grates). Cook the steak just 4 minutes on one side and then flip over and cook about 4 minutes on the other side. Remove from grill and allow to rest while onions and peppers continue to cook, about 5 more minutes. Place fajitas on grill just for one minute to warm.
  • After steak has rested 5 to 10 minutes, slice in thin slices against the grain on a diagonal.
  • Arrange steak on a platter with onions, peppers and other toppings and assemble in tortillas.
