Texas Style Fajitas

Cultural Context

Originating from the border regions of Texas and Mexico, fajitas were popularized in the 1970s and have since become a staple of Tex-Mex cuisine. Traditionally made with grilled meat served with sautéed peppers and onions, fajitas celebrate the vibrant flavors of the region. Today, they are enjoyed worldwide, with variations that include different proteins and toppings, making them a versatile dish for any occasion.

1

Cut skirt steak in half for easier handling.

2

Season the steak with 1836 beef rub and fajita seasoning, letting it sit overnight in the fridge.

3

Slice green bell peppers and yellow bell pepper, and cut onion into rings.

4

Sauté the bell peppers and onion in a pan with olive oil, adding a little salt, until they are tender but still have a bite.

5

Mash two avocados in a bowl and add five cloves of pressed garlic, the juice of three key limes, salt, and black pepper to make guacamole.

6

Prepare the grill by lighting two chimneys of B&B lump charcoal until hot.

7

Place the seasoned skirt steak on the hot grill, cooking it without covering for a nice char.

8

Cook the steak until desired doneness, flipping as necessary, and char the outside slightly.

9

Grill green onions wrapped in foil with olive oil and salt alongside the steak.

10

Once cooked, let the steak rest before slicing against the grain into strips.
