Quick Beef Fajitas with Pico De Gallo

Marinate Flank Steak overnight in lime juice and garlic, then chop up a zesty pico de gallo while the beef is on the grill. Be sure to slice steak against the grain for max tenderness.

Ingredients

  • 1 beef Flank Steak (about 1-1/2 pounds)
  • 12 flour tortillas (6-inch diameter), warmed
Marinade:
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
Pico de Gallo:
  • 1/2 cup seeded chopped tomato
  • 1/2 cup diced zucchini
  • 1/4 chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup prepared picante sauce or salsa
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Instructions

  1. Combine marinade ingredients in small bowl. Place beef Flank Steak and marinade in food-safe plastic bag; turn to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 6 hours or as long as overnight, turning occasionally.

  2. Combine Pico de Gallo ingredients in medium bowl.

  3. Remove steak; discard marinade. Place steak on grid over medium, ash-covered coals.
