Equipment

  • 1 Grill
  • Sealable Container
  • Aluminum Foil
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Zester
  • Juicer
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Tongs
  • Oven or Microwave
  • Serving Platter or Individual Plates
  • Dollop Spoon

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Beef Skirt Steak
  • 2 Limes
  • 1 Serrano or Jalapeno Pepper, minced
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup Low Sodium Beef Broth
  • 1/2 tablespoon Old Bay® Seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon Cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tablespoon Salt
  • 1 medium Onion thinly sliced
  • 2 Assorted Bell Peppers thinly sliced
  • 12 Flour Tortillas
  • 1 cup Daisy Sour Cream

Instructions

Trim & Prep:

  • Trim excess fat from the beef skirt steak. Imagine it as a culinary artist shaping the canvas for the masterpiece.

Citrus Soak:

  • Squeeze the limes, zest one, and mince the Serrano or Jalapeno pepper. Mix them with garlic, beef broth, Old Bay® Seasoning, cumin, black pepper, and salt in a container. Immerse the beef and let it soak - think of it as a flavorful spa day for the meat. Refrigerate for 8 hours or more.

Grill Mastery:

  • Sprinkle the marinated beef with love (and a bit more salt and pepper). Grill to your preferred doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes; this is the part where the flavors mingle and dance.

Veggie Ensemble:

  • For outdoor grilling, create a foil pouch for onions and bell peppers. They are the supporting actors adding drama to your dish. If using an indoor grill, toss them in for an extra flavor boost.

Tortilla Warmth:

  • Warm the tortillas like giving them a cozy blanket either in the oven or microwave. A little warmth goes a long way.

Assemble & Crown:

  • Slice the beef into thin strips. Imagine building a delicious tower: tortilla, beef strips, grilled veggies. Crown it with a regal dollop of Daisy Sour Cream. Behold, your masterpiece is ready!

Notes

  1. Marination Magic:
    • Let the beef soak up the flavors for at least 8 hours; patience pays off in tastier results.
  2. Grilling Tips:
    • Keep an eye on the grill; thin slices cook quickly. Aim for juicy medium-rare for the best taste.
  3. Veggie Variety:
    • Feel free to mix up the veggies on the grill – mushrooms, zucchini, or pineapple can add a tasty twist.
  4. Tortilla Tip:
    • Keep tortillas moist by covering them with a damp cloth while warming; it ensures they stay soft.
  5. Custom Creations:
    • Personalize your Fajitas De Res with hot sauce, extra lime, or your favorite toppings.
  6. Serving Suggestions:
    • Pair with Mexican rice, refried beans, or a fresh salad for a complete and delicious meal.
  7. Family Fun:
    • Make it a family affair! Set up a fajita bar with various toppings for a fun and interactive meal.
  8. Leftover Love:
    • Use any leftovers for tacos, quesadillas, or a quick beef stir-fry – waste not, want not!
