How to Make Easy Fajitas
- In a large resealable bag, combine 1.5 lbs of steak (skirt, flank, or chicken), 1/4 cup tequila (good quality!), 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp liquid smoke, 1 tsp Mexican oregano (or regular oregano), 1 tsp adobo seasoning, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 jalapeño (minced), and 1 tbsp prepared horseradish.
- Marinate in the refrigerator overnight, turning the bag once.
- Remove meat from marinade; reserve marinade.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill the meat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached.
- Remove meat from grill and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain into 1-inch wide strips.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add your favorite fajita vegetables (onions, bell peppers, etc.), about 2 cups chopped, and sauté until tender-crisp, about 6-8 minutes.
- Add reserved marinade to the skillet with the vegetables; simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce and thicken.
- For the sauce: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 clove garlic (minced), 1/2 tsp cumin, and 2/3 cup of your favorite picante sauce.
- Warm 12 flour tortillas according to package directions (microwave or skillet).
- Serve the warm tortillas with the grilled meat, sautéed vegetables, picante/sour cream sauce, your favorite toppings (avocado, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese).
- Let your guests build their own delicious fajitas!
