These are always a hit. Especially with the kids. This recipe is really flexible as far as what veggies and sides you serve and varies every time I make it. Here is how we did it as pictured here and it was excellent!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs. flank steak
- 2 bell peppers cut into strips
- 1 red onion cut into strips
- 1 package of large flour tortillas
Marinade
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 tbs. olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 tsp. soy sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp liquid smoke
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
Optional
- fresh salsa
- guacamole
- sour cream
- shredded cheese
- black beans (canned or fresh)
- green onion for garnish
Directions
- Use two forks and stab the flank steak thoroughly on both sides to tenderize and allow the marinade to penetrate.
- Blend together marinade ingredients with a whisk in a medium mixing bowl
- Put steak, veggies and marinade ingredients into a large freezer bag. Remove as much air as possible from the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Do not marinate the meat for more that 2 hours or your meat may become over seasoned and soggy.
- Grill meat on high for about 4-5 minutes on each side depending on thickness or until meat is still pink all the way through but not bloody. Allow meat to rest 5 minutes before slicing.
- Saute veggies in remaining marinate over medium-high heat until tender but not limp.
- Cut meat into 1/2 inch strips against the grain
- Fold meat, cheese, beans and veggies into a flour tortilla and grill in a skillet or frying pan in a small amount of olive oil on both sides to seal the deal
- Serve with guac, salsa or sour creme and enjoy!
