makes 8

Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef, Milanesa Cut (top round or sirloin sliced 1/8-inch thick)

• lime marinade (below)

• seasoned sour cream (below)

• 2 onions, sliced

• 2 bell peppers, sliced

• shredded cheese (cheddar, colby, etc)

• 8 flour tortillas, 8-inches in diameter

• salt and pepper to taste

• Fresh Cilantro, chopped (optional)

• Scallions, sliced (optional)

Lime Marinade (whisk together; reserve 2 tablespoons to make the seasoned sour cream)

• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (2-3 limes)

• 1/4 cup canola oil

• 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt

• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano

• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

• 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Seasoned Sour Cream (whisk together; reserve until you're ready to assemble the fajitas)

• 1 cup sour cream

• 2 tablespoons reserved lime marinade

Directions

1. Place the thinly sliced beef into a gallon size zip-top bag.

2. Whisk the marinade ingredients together and pour over beef (don't forget to reserve 2 tablespoons to make the seasoned sour cream); seal bag closed and massage the marinade into the beef. Marinade for 30 minutes, turning the bag once or twice.

3. Meanwhile, caramelize the onions and peppers in a couple of tablespoons of canola oil and a little salt and pepper over low to medium heat; stirring frequently. This process will take about 30-40 minutes.

4. Remove the beef from the marinade; sprinkle very lightly with salt and pepper.

5. Grill for about 2 minutes per side - this can be done on an outside grill, or in a grill pan on the stove top.

6. Slice beef, across the grain, into 1/4-inch strips.

7. Assemble the fajitas by placing 2 tablespoons of seasoned sour cream down the center of a tortilla; top with 1/8 the beef strips and 1/8 the caramelized onions and peppers. Top with cheese, and optional cilantro and/or scallions; roll and eat.
