Ingredients

For the Steak
1

flank steak (1-¾ lb.)
½

onion, thinly sliced
For the Marinade
4 tsp

JS Fajita (Seasoning Blend)
2 Tbsp

soy sauce
2 Tbsp

canola oil
6

garlic cloves, peeled
½ bunch

of fresh cilantro
1

orange, juiced
3

limes, zest and juice
1 Tbsp

Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce
For Tortilla and Toppings
2 tsp

JS Fajita (Seasoning Blend)
12

corn tortillas (6 inch)
2 oz

queso fresco, crumbled
½ bunch

of fresh cilantro
½

onion, finely chopped
4

radishes, thinly sliced
2

fresh jalapeño peppers, seeded, thinly sliced

Directions

Place the steak and onions in a large bowl.

Blend all the Marinade ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth. Pour the marinade over the steak and onions, then turn the steak and toss the onions to evenly coat them with the marinade.

Refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.

When ready to serve, heat your outdoor grill, grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade; discard the onions and marinade.

Add the steak to the grill; cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until the steak is cooked to medium doneness. Transfer the steak to a cutting board, then let it stand for 5 minutes.

Use a sharp knife to cut the steak across the grain into thin slices, then cut the steak into bite-size pieces. Place the steak in a serving bowl, then drizzle it with any reserved meat juices.

Top the tortillas with the meat and remaining toppings just before serving.

Tip: For more flavor, top the tacos with guacamole and/or pico de gallo before serving.
