In a bowl, add 1/2 cup of orange juice, 1/2 cup of pineapple juice, 1/4 cup of lime juice, and 1/4 cup of olive oil.

Add 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon of New Mexico chili powder, 1 tablespoon of black pepper, 1 1/2 tablespoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of oregano, and 1 teaspoon of cumin to the bowl.

Mix the marinade and taste to adjust salt if needed.

Add 1 small onion to the marinade, breaking it up.

Add 3 pounds of flank steak to the marinade, ensuring it is well coated.

Cover the bowl and marinate the steak overnight for at least 7 hours.

Remove the marinated steak from the fridge and let it come to room temperature.

Heat a grilling pan over medium-high heat.

Cook the steak for 3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes.

Remove the cooked steak and place it in a container, covering it.

Repeat the cooking process for the remaining steak.

Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade along with the onions.

Chop the cooked steak into strips against the grain.

In the same grilling pan, add a little oil and heat it up.

Add the bell peppers and onion to the pan and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes.

After 5 minutes, add the chopped meat to the pan and cook for a couple more minutes until heated through.

Serve the fajitas with flour tortillas, rice, and avocado.
