Famous Firehouse Fajita Fiesta

Allergens

Dairy (sour cream, guacamole), Gluten (flour tortillas)

Ingredients

• 2 lbs beef flank steak, cut into thin strips
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 large yellow onion, sliced
• 2 tbsp fajita seasoning mix
• 8 flour tortillas, warmed
• Sour cream
• Guacamole
• Shredded cheese
• Fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine steak strips and fajita seasoning mix. Seal the bag and shake to evenly coat the meat. Let it marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
2. Heat a large grill or grill pan over medium high heat. In batches, cook the marinated steak until browned on both sides, about 2 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and let rest.
3. Add oil to the grill or grill pan, then add bell peppers and onions. Cook until tender and slightly charred, about 5 7 minutes. Return cooked steak to the grill and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
4. Serve with warm tortillas, sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, and fresh cilantro.

Chef’s Insight

The secret to this dish is the marination of the steak and the perfect charring of vegetables on the grill, which adds a smoky flavor that ties everything together.

Notes

For a spicy kick, add jalapeños or serranos to the marinade.
