We have been using our grill almost every day this summer. We love eating outside and we love keeping the house as cool as possible. Plus, grilled food just tastes better, especially during the summer!
Josh usually takes charge when it comes to grilling and he is currently loving Grilled Steak Fajitas!
He uses flank steak for his Grilled Steak Fajitas. He marinates the steak in fresh lime juice, adds a spicy chili rub, and grills until perfection!
To go with the steak, he grills up colorful bell peppers and red onion. Sizzle, sizzle!
Josh cuts the steak into strips and assembles the fajitas!
He uses Old El Paso’s flour tortillas and adds diced tomato, avocado, cilantro, and sour cream. And then he devours. He usually doesn’t talk during dinner on Grilled Steak Fajita night because he is too busy eating and savoring every bite!
Grilled Steak Fajitas make a great summer dinner! They are easy to grill up and are also fun for entertaining. Let your guests assemble their own fajitas. Set out a variety of toppings and let them go fajita crazy!

Ingredients:
For the Steak:
- 16 ounces flank steak
- Juice of 2 limes
- Zest of 2 limes
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- For the Veggies:
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- For Serving:
- 8 Old El Paso Flour Tortillas
- Optional Toppings: tomatoes, avocado, sour cream, lettuce, cheese, cilantro, salsa
Directions:
1. Place the steak in a 9x13 pan or Ziploc bag and squeeze fresh lime juice over it, making sure the entire steak is covered. Let sit for 30 minutes.
2. In a small bowl, combine lime zest, salt, sugar, black pepper, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, and cinnamon. Sprinkle mixture over steak and rub into the meat. Let sit for an additional 10 minutes. Place peppers and onions in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Preheat the grill to medium high heat. Place steak directly on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove from grill and let the steak rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes. While the steak is resting, grill the vegetables. Put the vegetables on a grill pan and cook until tender, stirring occasionally, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from grill and set aside.
4. Cut the steak into strips. Place steak and vegetables in a flour tortilla and top with desired toppings. Serve warm.
Note-you can heat the tortillas up right on the grill!
