Ingredients:
-
1 pack Refined Selections Beef Flank (Camto), sliced against the grain into strips
- 3 bell peppers (assorted colors), thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Juice of 2 limes or calamansi
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Flour tortillas
Optional toppings: salsa, guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese, fresh cilantro
Marinating the Beef:
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Place the sliced beef in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to infuse.
Grilling:
Preheat your grill pan over medium-high heat (don’t fuss if you don’t have one, an ordinary pan will do too). Remove the beef from the marinade and grill for 2-3 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Don't forget the sizzle – that's the secret to the perfect fajita!
Sauteing Vegetables:
In a separate pan (or the same one where you cooked the beef), sauté the sliced bell peppers and onions until they are tender yet still crisp. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper for an extra burst of flavor.
Assembling:
Warm the flour tortillas on the grill or in a dry pan. Fill each tortilla with the grilled beef and sautéed vegetables. Top it off with your favorite garnishes – salsa, guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
