Ingredients

  • 11⁄2 lbs. of round steak (chicken breast can also be used)

  • 1/4 cup lime juice

  • 1/4 cup tequila

  • 3/4 tsp. (teaspoon) baking soda*

  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 green pepper, sliced into strips

  • 3 Tbsp. (Tablespoons) Cherchies® Brush ‘N Broil Sauce

  • 12 flour tortillas, warmed in the oven.

  • Shredded cheddar cheese

  • sour cream

  • tomatoes, chopped

  • avocado, chopped

Preparation
Clean and remove seeds and membranes from peppers, and cut them into thin strips. Cut onions into thin strips. Set aside. (Feel free to use whatever peppers you have. We had green and orange on hand). Slice round steak on the diagonal (against the grain) about 1/4 inch thick. Place strips in a plastic bag with lime juice, tequila, and baking soda and marinate for 2 to 4 hours. 

*Some cuts of meat, such as top round, flank steak, London Broil, etc., can be very tough, even after marinating. A trick we learned for turning tough meat into juicy morsels when cooked is using baking soda in the marinade. It helps break down the proteins while marinating, producing tender, juicy meat.

When the meat has marinated, sauté onion and green pepper strips in 1 TBSP. of Brush 'n Broil Sauce for 2 to 4 minutes. Remove vegetables from the skillet.

Add marinated beef (or chicken) strips to the skillet with the remaining 2 TBSP. of Brush 'n Broil Sauce. Cook for two minutes on medium-high heat.

Add vegetables and stir-fry for another 2 minutes or until heated through. Fill oven-warmed tortillas with vegetables and beef and serve with cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, and avocado. Serve these fajitas with our Cilantro Rice Recipe for a nice compliment. Enjoy!
