Ingredients
- 1 lb. fajita steak thinly sliced, or another cut.
- 1-3 canned chipotle peppers in adobo depending on spice preference
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 limes
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus more for skillet
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 1/2 cup yellow or red onion chopped
- 8 corn tortillas
Instructions
- To make the marinade, chop the chipotle peppers and mix with one tablespoon of the adobo sauce, garlic, juice of one lime, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
- In a bowl, container, or plastic bag, mix the steak with the marinade and allow to sit in the fridge for at least one hour or as long as overnight.
- Brown the steak in a skillet with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil for about 5 minutes, or until fully cooked. Once steak is cooked, remove from skillet so it doesn't continue to cook (reserve the pan juices).
- Meanwhile, mix the chopped cilantro and onion together in a small bowl.
- Cut the remaining lime into 8 wedges.
- Toast the corn tortillas over your gas burner on your stovetop, in the oven, or warm in the microwave for a few seconds
- Top each tortilla with steak, cilantro and onion, a drizzle of the pan juices, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
