| Ingredients: |
1/4 cup lime juice
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons pure-pressed extra virgin olive oil
2 minced garlic cloves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano or 2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons minced red onion
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
dash cayenne pepper
1 - 1/2 pounds top round or flank steak, trimmed of fat
2 tablespoons pre-pressed virgin olive oil
1 small fresh jalapeno pepper, cut into thin strips; or 1 to 2 tablespoons canned diced green chilies (wear rubber gloves to prepare fresh jalapeno
pepper)
2 thinly sliced red or green bell peppers, cut into thin strips
1 large red onion, cut into strips
8 corn tortillas |
| Directions: |
1. In a shallow dish, combine lime juice, cilantro, 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, oregano, onion, chili powder, cumin, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
2. Marinate steak in marinade, refrigerated, at least 1 hour, or overnight, if possible.
3. Prepare barbecue or preheat broiler. Grill steak over hot coals or broil steak on a greased rack with a tinfoil-lined baking sheet underneath. Broil 3 inches from heat source, until meat is tender. Slice into thin strips. Set aside.
4. In a medium nonstick skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add jalapeno pepper, bell pepper strips and onion, and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Combine with sliced beef and mix well. Taste and adjust seasonings.
5. Either layer corn tortillas between paper towels and microwave on high 10 to 20 seconds, or use tongs to heat tortillas directly over gas burner, turning once until softened and puffed up.
