For the Steak Marinade:

  • 1½ lbs flank or skirt steak

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo, minced

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • ½ teaspoon chili powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Fajitas:

Optional Toppings:

Instructions:

  1. Marinate the steak:
    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, chipotle peppers, lime juice, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
    Coat steak with marinade and refrigerate at least 1 hour (up to overnight).

  2. Grill the steak:
    Preheat grill to medium-high.
    Grill steak 4–6 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust for thickness).
    Let rest 5 minutes, then slice against the grain into thin strips.

  3. Cook the vegetables:
    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
    Sauté bell peppers and onion until tender-crisp, about 5–6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Assemble the fajitas:
    Warm tortillas. Fill with sliced steak and sautéed vegetables.
    Add desired toppings like guacamole, sour cream, salsa, cheese, and fresh cilantro.

  5. Serve:
    Fold tortillas and serve hot with lime wedges on the side.
