Grilled Fajita Burritos

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!

grilled fajita burritos

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

  1. Use two forks and stab the flank steak thoroughly on both sides to tenderize and allow the marinade to penetrate.
  2. Blend together marinade ingredients with a whisk in a medium mixing bowl
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Saute veggies in remaining marinate over medium-high heat until tender but not limp.
  6. Cut meat into 1/2 inch strips against the grain
  7. 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
  8. Serve with guac, salsa or sour creme and enjoy!
