  • ¼ Cup Tequila
  • 6 Cloves Garlic
  • ½ Cup Cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

    Grilled Steak Fajitas
  • Mix ¼ cup of tequila, ½ cup of lime juice, some cilantro, garlic, and a teaspoon of salt together.
    After that, put the marinade into a zip-lock bag or a flat dish. Add the steak and keep it in the fridge for 30 minutes to 2 hours. Remember not to keep it for more than 4 hours.
  • While the Steak is marinating, make the Guacamole. It takes about 5 minutes.
  • While the Steak is marinating, make the Pico de Gallo.
  • Grill the steak to your preferred temperature, we recommend medium. Remember the steak will continue to cook some after you remove it from the grill
  • Slice the meat to the preferred thickness, cutting against the grain. NOTE: Don't worry if it isn't cut along the grain. It's so good slicing doesn't matter!
  • Serve on Flour Tortillas. The way we build our fajitas is steak, guacamole, pico de gallo, cheese, and sometimes sour cream. Enjoy!!!!

Notes

If you want warm Flour Tortilla. Wrap them in Foil and place in 250 degree oven while the steak is grilling.
