These Grilled Steak Fajitas bring that same magic to your home. Perfect for weekends or any day that needs a little spark. Gather your loved ones and fire up the grill!

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1½ lbs flank or skirt steak

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • Juice of 2 limes

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tsp chili powder

  • 1 tsp cumin

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced

  • 1 large red onion, sliced

  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas

Instructions

  • Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and spices. Rub all over the steak and let marinate for 1–4 hours.

  • Preheat the Grill: Set to medium-high heat.

  • Grill Steak: Cook steak for 4–5 minutes per side (medium-rare to medium). Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.

  • Grill Veggies: Toss peppers and onion with a little oil, grill until slightly charred and tender.

  • Warm Tortillas: Place tortillas on grill for 30 seconds each side.

  • Assemble Fajitas: Fill tortillas with steak, veggies, and your favorite toppings!

Notes

  • Marinate Longer = More Flavor! Up to 8 hours is great.

  • Slice Against the Grain for tender bites.

  • Don’t Skip Resting Time – it keeps the steak juicy.

  • Add toppings like avocado, salsa, sour cream, or a squeeze of lime.
