Cooking Instructions

Hide images

step 1

For marinade, juice the Limes (2) and Orange (1) into a bowl. Mix in Fresh Cilantro (3 Tbsp), Ground Cumin (1 tsp), Olive Oil (4 Tbsp), Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce (2), and Chili Powder (1/2 tsp) and whisk everything together.

step 2

Cut Skirt Steak (3 lb) into manageable pieces. Place the steaks in a ziploc and pour the marinade in. Move around to make sure steak is covered with marinade. Seal the ziploc and place it in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours.

step 3

In a food processor, add the Ro-Tel® Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies (1 can), Roma Tomatoes (4 1/2 cups), Jalapeño Pepper (1), Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce (1), Adobo Sauce (1 Tbsp) and pulse a few times.

step 4

Next, add in the Limes (3), Ground Cumin (1 tsp), Salt (1 tsp), Granulated Sugar (1 tsp), Fresh Cilantro (1/2 cup), Yellow Onion (1), and Garlic (1 clove). Puree everything together again to make the spicy salsa.

step 5

In a large bowl, halve and pit the Avocados (5). Add Garlic (2 cloves), Limes (3), Yellow Onion (1/2), Kosher Salt (1 tsp), Fresh Cilantro (1/2 cup), and Ground Black Pepper (to taste).

step 6

Drizzle in Olive Oil (2 Tbsp) and begin to mash everything together. When mixed thoroughly, make sure to refrigerate the guacamole until you serve the fajitas.

step 7

Preheat the grill. While you wait for it to come to temperature, start slicing the Yellow Onions (4) and Red Bell Peppers (2). Feel free to combine them because you will cook them together later.

step 8

Season the marinated steak with salt and pepper (to taste) and place them on the grill.

step 9

Grill the skirt steak on one side for 4 minutes.

step 10

Flip the steaks over and grill for another 4 minutes.

step 11

Wrap the steak up in aluminum foil and let rest for 15 minutes. While the steaks rest, grill the sliced onions and peppers on the griddle. Season with Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) and set aside in a bowl.

step 12

Slice steaks to desired thickness, while you warm the Tortillas (10) on the griddle just to get them hot.

step 13

Layer steak on the warm tortillas, and top your fajitas with some of the guacomole, grilled onion and peppers and hot salsa. Fold to make your fajita and enjoy!.
