Bella Asada Fajitas Recipes

PORTOBELLO FAJITAS

Steps:

• For the spice blend: Stir together the paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper in a bowl.
• For the fajitas: Set a large skillet over high heat. Once the pan starts smoking, add the portobellos, bell peppers, onions, salt and 2 teaspoons of the spice blend. Dry-saute the veggies until you see charring and blistering, about 30 seconds. Add the oil and garlic and continue to cook, stirring often, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Lay out the tortillas and top each with the portobello veggie mix. Sprinkle each with a pinch of the spice blend. Top with sour cream, avocado, cilantro and a squeeze of lime.

CITRUS ASADA FAJITAS

Steps:

• Whisk orange juice, cumin, chile pepper, and sea salt together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the steak, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove steak from marinade and discard marinade.
• Cook the steak until it starts to firm and is reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).

PBR FAJITAS

Steps:

• In a large pot, combine ingredients for marinade, and simmer over medium heat until flavors meld. Let mixture cool, place meat in a shallow dish, pour marinade over meat, and let marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Place meat in clean shallow dish and cover with Italian dressing. Marinate for 1 more hour in the refrigerator.
• Preheat a grill to 425 degrees F.
• Grill steak, along with onions and peppers, for 10 minutes on each side. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice meat into strips, cutting across the grain. Top with your favorite toppings, and serve with flour or corn tortillas.

CARNE ASADA FAJITAS

Steps:

• Make the guacamole: scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl; add the remaining guacamole ingredients; stir with a fork until combined.
• Cover with plastic wrap to prevent browning.
• Make the rub: in a small bowl, combine all the rub ingredients.
• Lightly brush or spray the flank steak on both sides with oil; season steak evenly with the rub.
• Let steak stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before grilling.
• Lightly brush or spray the onion and bell peppers on both sides with oil.
• Grill over direct medium heat until tender, turning once; the onion will take 8-10 minutes and the bell peppers will take 6-8 minutes.
• Cut the onion and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces.
• Grill the flank steak over direct high heat until cooked to desired doneness, 8-10 minutes for medium-rare, turning once.
• Remove from grill and let rest 3-5 minutes.
• Wrap the tortillas in a foil package; grill the package over direct medium heat to warm the tortillas, 2-3 minutes, turning once.
• To serve: cut the flank steak against the grain into ¼ inch slices.
• Place the warm tortillas, sliced, meat, onions, peppers, and guacamole in separate serving dishes.
• Let each person make their own fajita by placing the fillings down the center of each tortilla and adding Tabasco to taste; wrap and serve warm.

SHEET PAN BEEF FAJITAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with foil.
• Combine bell peppers, onion, 2 teaspoons oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon cumin on the prepared pan; toss to coat. Spread veggie mixture around the sides of the pan creating a space in the center.
• Place flank steak in center of pan and brush with remaining 1 teaspoon oil. Sprinkle steak with remaining salt, chili powder, pepper, and cumin and rub to evenly coat.
• Bake in the preheated oven until veggies are tender and browned around the edges and steak is beginning to firm and is hot and slightly pink in the center, 12 to 14 minutes, or to desired degree of doneness. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the steak should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium.
• Transfer steak to a cutting board and rest, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Thinly slice steak and return to the sheet pan. Add lime wedges and serve with tortillas.
