I love a good fajita but have never been satisfied with most restaurants I've gone to. I've come up with a basic recipe you can build from that is awesome in itself. Give it a try! The meat is key in a good fajita. It must melt in your mouth along with all the other fixins you put into the tortilla. Serve fajitas in warm tortillas topped with fresh guacamole, garden salsa, and fresh cilantro.

Provided by Chef Jeff

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 10h50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 flank steak
¼ cup shichimi togarashi
¼ cup orange juice
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
½ orange, zested

½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon olive oil
