Steak Fajitas with Pico De Gallo
Pico De Gallo is a mexican relish made with fresh ingredients, similar to fresh salsa. It’s delicious as a topping on any fajita or burrito.
Ingredients
- Pico De Gallo:3 tomatoes, red ripe, chopped
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 2 Tbs cilantro, chopped
- 2 Tbs lemon juice
- 1 jalapeno chile pepper, finely chopped
- Fajita:1 lb flank steak, uncooked
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt (sea salt if on a corn-free diet*)
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 6 flour tortillas, (10-inch diameter)
Directions
- Prepare Pico De Gallo: Combine tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, lemon juice and jalapeno in a small bowl. Gently mix together. Set aside.
- Preheat grill or broiler.
- Sprinkle both sides of steak with cumin, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Place steak on a grill rack or broiler pan coated with cooking spray, and cook 6 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Let stand 5 minutes. Cut steak diagonally across the grain into thin slices.
- While steak is cooking, wrap tortillas in foil and place on grill to heat.
- Assemble fajita by laying beef strips in the center of each tortilla and top with Pico De Gallo.
* Allergy notes: People following a corn-free diet should avoid iodized salt since it contains dextrose, which should be avoided by those allergic to corn.
