I have a few versions of fajita's but this is the best yet! Here is the link to the original recipe below!

The Food for Your Dude Version I just grabbed some steak (it was flank, but I was able to cut in strips- sorry! I'm so not a meat expert!) so if you can't find flank- no worries, just work with something you can cut into strips. I also left out the peppers and onions because honestly I hate them. I also did not season early- I cooked on the stove and added the spices and it was still really good! I used wholly guacamole as well.

For the Steak
- 2 lbs flank steak, trimmed of fat
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tbsp cumin (or to taste)
- 2 scallions, sliced (optional)
- salt + fresh pepper to taste
- 3 medium onions, sliced into long strips
- 3 bell peppers (I used multi-colors), sliced into strips
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt + fresh pepper to taste
- 12 7" flour tortillas, such as La Tortilla Factory Low Carb High Fiber
- I like to season the steak a few hours ahead. Pierce steak with a fork all over to tenderize. Season steak with cumin, garlic, scallions, salt and pepper. Allow steak torest at room tempurature at least 10 minutes before grilling.
- In a large grill-safe pan such as a clay Chamba or cast iron skillet combine onions, peppers, olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss well to coat. Place on the BBQ and cook on medium-low heat, tossing occasionally until onions are caramelized, about 20 minutes. This could also be cooked inside on the stove as well.
- When the onions and peppers are done, set aside to keep warm on the top rack of your grill; raise the flame of the grill to high flame. Discard scallion and sear steak 4-6 minutes without moving, turn the steak over and cook a few more minutes until rare or medium rare (well done will be too tough). Remove from grill and let it rest a few minutes before cutting.
Cut meat into small cubes and combine with the cooked onions and peppers andserve with tortillas, cheese, guacamole and sour cream.
