My family is crazy about these Chili Lime Fajitas!

If you are looking for a new dinner that makes everyone happy, the search is over!  These Chili Lime Fajitas are a winner! This dinner is not only big on flavor it’s easy enough on the home chef for a weeknight dinner. I marinade the beef the night before, prep my veggies, load up on sides, and cook it when I’m ready to serve. I offer this dinner buffet style and the kids love the do-it-yourself situation.

The beef hangs out in a marinade of spices and lime overnight and you end up with the most succulent, delicious meat on the planet. I cook off the beef in a skillet, add my peppers and onions, and warm up my flour tortillas. The meat is to-die-for good and I just love the slight crunch from the colorful peppers and onion. It’s pretty much your basic fajita bliss.

These fajitas are wonderful as is but because I can’t leave well enough alone, I create a toppings bar and let everyone create their own. I serve with warm flour tortillas, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, cilantro, and colorful lime wedges for an extra squeeze of citrus at the end. It’s not only a great make ahead dinner, it’s a gorgeous presentation!

This is perfect with my Mexican Rice.

Enjoy!

Chili Lime Fajitas
Author: 
 
Ingredients
  • MARINADE:
  • 2 limes
  • 1 Tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • FAJITAS:
  • 2 pounds skirt steak thinly sliced, against the grain, into fajita strips
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 1 yellow bell pepper
  • ½ red onion
  • Olive oil
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine juice from limes, chili powder, cumin powder, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper and olive oil.
  2. Toss with skirt steak and marinate overnight.
  3. Remove meat from marinade.
  4. Over medium high heat, heat 2 teaspoons olive.
  5. Add half of the meat to the pan, allow to brown on one side about 1-2 minutes. Flip and cook other side until done about 1-2 minutes, depending on thickness of meat. Remove from pan.
  6. Repeat with second half of the meat. Remove meat from pan.
  7. Carefully wipe down pan.*
  8. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil to pan over medium high heat. Add sliced bell peppers and onions. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  9. Allow to cook about 5 minutes until slightly softened.
Notes
Sometimes I don't wipe down the pan after the beef is cooked and I cook the peppers and onions with the juice from the steak. If you do this, skip adding the olive oil, salt, and pepper with the peppers and onions. The seasoning from the steak will be enough flavor.
