How to Make Beef And Mango Fajitas
- In a large zip-top bag, combine the steak with 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon fajita seasoning, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade mixture.
- Seal the bag, pressing out excess air. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4-24 hours, turning occasionally.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- While the steak marinates, prepare the onions: Place 1 large onion, thinly sliced, onto an 18-inch square of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
- Drizzle the onions with the reserved 2 tablespoons of lime mixture.
- Bring up two opposite sides of the foil and seal with a double fold. Fold remaining ends to completely enclose, creating a foil packet, leaving a little space for steam to escape.
- Wrap tortillas tightly in a separate piece of aluminum foil.
- Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade.
- Grill the steak for 14-18 minutes for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness.
- Add the onion foil packet to the grill during the last 10 minutes of grilling.
- Add the wrapped tortillas to the grill during the last 5 minutes, to warm.
- Remove everything from the grill. Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Serve immediately with the grilled onions, sliced mango (about 1 cup), warm tortillas, your favorite toppings (salsa, sour cream, guacamole).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
