GRILLED BEEF FAJITA PACKS

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 4 (20x18-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. In large bowl, mix beef, bell peppers, onion, seasoning mix and water.
• Place 1/4 of beef mixture on center of each foil sheet. Bring up 2 sides of foil over beef mixture so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
• Place packets on grill over low heat. Cover grill; cook 13 to 18 minutes, rotating packets 1/2 turn after about 6 minutes, until beef is cooked to desired doneness and peppers are tender.
• To serve, cut large X across top of each packet; carefully fold back foil to allow steam to escape. Serve beef mixture with tortillas, salsa and sour cream.

• Cook the pepper and onion slices in olive oil (cast iron pan recommended) until they are slightly wilted.
• Grill the beef over medium flame (or cast iron pan on the stove top), flipping midway through cooking time, to your desired doneness. It typically takes about 7-10 minute for medium rare.grills/cooking times vary.
• Warm up the tortillas by heating on the grill or in a dry pan on the stove.
• After letting the beef rest for about 5 minutes, slice it across the grain in about half-inch slices.

FAJITAS IN A GRILL BASKET

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• Place a grill basket on a baking sheet. Mix together the cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, cayenne and 2 teaspoons salt in a small bowl. Add the steak to a large bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. Sprinkle a third of the spice blend on the steak and toss until coated. Transfer the steak to one side of the grill basket. Repeat the process first with the peppers and onion, placing them in the middle of the grill basket, and then with the chicken, arranging it on the remaining empty side of the grill basket; try to keep the rows mostly separate (they can overlap slightly). Close and secure the grill basket.
• Put the grill basket on the grill and let cook, flipping once, until everything starts to brown and caramelize, and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken registers 165 degrees F, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Remove from the grill, place on a clean baking sheet and open the basket, letting it rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, grill the tortillas until they start to char slightly, about 30 seconds per side.
• Divide the meats and vegetables among the tortillas. Serve with desired toppings.

GRILLED MESQUITE BEEF FAJITAS (TEX-MEX)

Steps:

• Clean the skirt or flank steak. Remove as much of the fat and thin film as possible.
• Combine all remaining ingredients.
• Pour over meat and marinate over night (minimum), turning occasionally.
• Arrange coals on along two sides of the grill with a drip pan in the middle.
• Once white around the edges, add mesquite chips. You can soak them first if you want, but it's not necessary.
• Place meat over drip pan and put the cover on the grill.
• Turn meat after 20 minutes or so, and cook for another 10-15 minute Meat should be cooked, but still juicy.
• Let meat rest for 15 minute.
• Cut the meat across the grain into thin strips (1/4-3/8" thick). Be careful here, the grain does not run lengthwise. You should cut each skirt steak into 6" segments, turn each segment 90 degrees then slice. If you don't cut across the grain, the meat will be very tough.
• Serve on hot flour tortillas, topped with your favorite toppings. I prefer spicy guacamole and shredded shard cheddar cheese.

GRILLED STEAK FAJITAS

Steps:

• Place a 12-inch cast-iron skillet on one side of a gas grill, preheat the grill to high and lightly oil the grates. Alternatively, lightly oil a large grill pan and preheat over high heat and preheat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat.
• Mix the oil, 2 tablespoons chili-lime seasoning, garlic, the juice of 1 lime, 1 tablespoon salt and a generous amount of pepper in a large bowl. Place the steaks on a plate and spoon 3 tablespoons of the mixture on top, flipping so that both sides are nicely coated, spooning any marinade on the plate back onto the meat. Refrigerate covered for 15 minutes and up to 2 hours if time allows.
• Put the peppers and onions in the large bowl with the remaining marinade and toss to coat evenly.
• Place the steaks on the open side of the grill or on the grill pan and put the vegetables and any oil left in the bowl in the cast-iron skillet.
• Cook the steaks, flipping once halfway through, until cooked through, about 8 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 2 minutes. Cook the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until softened and charred in some spots, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix the butter and remaining 1/4 teaspoon chili-lime seasoning in a small bowl. Wrap the tortillas loosely in foil and grill until warm, about 1 minute per side.
• Thinly slice the steaks and add to the skillet with the vegetables. Top with the butter and quickly stir until melted and incorporated, about 1 minute.
• Cut the remaining lime into wedges. Serve the steak and vegetables with the tortillas, salsa and lime wedges.
