Yummy. While hubby and I are not football fans we do enjoy kicking back and watching Superbowl and along with it, eating tasty food. So I decided to make us fajitas and I am happy I did.
Beef Fajitas
Serves 4
Ingredients:
1/2 lb flank steak
1/3 cup olive oil
Juice from 2 limes
3 tsp chipotle chili pepper
4 garlic cloves
1/2 onion, chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
20 small mushrooms, sliced
Sour cream, dollop for each fajita
Shredded cheese (cheddar, jack, pepper jack, whatever you prefer)
LaTortilla Factory white corn tortillas
Directions:
First combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chipotle chili pepper in blender and mix until totally combined. Place flank steak into ziploc bag and pour marinade over steak. Seal the bag and then coat the meat with the marinade by smooshing it around in the bag. Leave the meat marinading for at least 4 hours. I am sure if you had time to soak it overnight it would be even better.
Next, pour a bit of olive oil into a skillet and grill the meat over very high heat. I cooked each side for about 5 minutes before turning and then cooked a few more minutes on each side. Remove the steak from the pan and set to the side.
Now in another skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Add onions, peppers and mushrooms and cook for approximately 5 minutes or until the veggies are soft and onions are translucent.
While the veggies are cooking, slice the meat into thin strips against the grain.
Warm your tortillas one by one in a pan over medium heat just enough to make them crispy. Now grab a plate, your tortilla, add some cheese, veggies, meat strips and top off with a sprinkle of cheese and dollop of sour cream. Enjoy!
