Mama's Fab-u-lous Fajitas

Mama's Fab-u-lous Fajitas
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 pounds beef skirt steak, cut across the grain into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 yellow onion, cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 3 red bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided, or as needed


  1. Whisk lime juice, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, olive oil, garlic, and cumin together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add skirt steak, onion, and red bell peppers; toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator, 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  2. Remove steak, onion, and peppers from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.
  3. Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat until oil shimmers. Cook and stir steak in hot oil until browned on all sides and still pink in the center, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer meat to a plate, tent with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Heat remaining oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and peppers in hot oil until just tender but still crisp to the bite, 5 to 6 minutes. Return meat to skillet; cook and stir until heated through.
