Make the Lupe Tortillas restaurant's most popular Fajitas Grandioso dish in the comfort of your own home.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds skirt steaks
  • 3 cloves garlic peeled and mashed
  • cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Goya Adobo seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 bunch green onions
  • 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice from real limes
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions

  • Make the marinade by combining the garlic, vegetable oil, mayonnaise, lime juice, cumin, adobo, and salt in a large glass or Pyrex bowl.
  • Cut the steak into 5-6 inch sections, or whatever will fit in your skillet. Use a meat tenderizer such as this one to tenderize the meat.
  • Place steak in marinade and make sure the marinade covers the meat as thoroughly as possible. Marinade for a minimum of 2 hours; I usually let it sit in the marinade, in the refrigerator, overnight.
  • Heat your cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When it’s hot, place the skirt steak pieces on the skillet and cook until medium-rare, about 10 minutes on each side. The meat should start to develop a slight “crust” on the outside.
  • Remove meat, slice against the grain into strips, and (optionally) return to pan to finish cooking.
  • At this point, add the green onions (full length or cut in half; not chopped) as well and let them cook in the grease from the meat. Add more vegetable oil if needed.
  • Serve on warm flour tortillas with Mexican rice, salsa, cheese, sour cream, lettuce, diced tomatoes, etc.
