- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
For Steak Marinade

Tequila Lime Steak Fajitas
- 2 pounds steak flank or sirloin
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 1 package soft flour tortillas 10-inch in size
- 1 container sour cream
- 1 package cheese your preference, shredded
- 1 container salsa
- 3 medium jalapenos
- 1 head lettuce
- 1 medium tomato
Instructions
For Fajita Seasoning
- Place all ingredients into a mixing bowl and whisk together.
For Steak Marinade
- Set aside 1 ½ tablespoon of the fajita seasoning you’re going to reserve for seasoning the vegetables later then put the remainder of the fajita seasoning in the bowl.
- In a mixing bowl, combine all remaining ingredients, whisk together to combine, and pour over steaks in a bowl or preferably a Ziploc bag. You will then place the steaks in the refrigerator to marinate for at least one hour.
Tequila Lime Steak Fajitas
- To prepare, place the steaks whole into the marinade and place the container in the refrigerator to marinate for at least one hour before preparation.
- Allow steak to reach room temperature before grilling to help keep them tender.
- While waiting on steaks to reach room temperature Julian onions, peppers, and jalapenos to about ¼ inch thickness. Removing steaks from the marinade will allow them to reach room temperature faster. Discard the marinade after use.
- Season steak with kosher salt and black pepper, then grill on high (if cooking with gas) or over direct heat if cooking on coals/wood, but if you don’t have a grill, you can cook the steaks in a hot skillet with a bit of oil.
- Cook steaks to your preferred level of doneness. I prefer mine cooked to about a medium rare, depending on the thickness of the steaks, about 3 ½ to 4 minutes per side.
- Remove from heat and allow steak to rest on the counter or cutting board while you sauté the vegetables.
- Over high heat, place onions, peppers, jalapenos, and 1 ½ tablespoons of the fajita seasoning into a hot skillet and cook until vegetables are tender for about 4 minutes.
- Slice the steak to desired thickness across the grain to help the meat stay tender. Place sliced meat into a pan with vegetables and remove from heat.
- Grab a tortilla and ladle on some of your steak and peppers. Top with shredded lettuce, cheese, jalapenos, salsa, and sour cream if desired. Enjoy!
