A fool-proof beef fajitas recipe for lunch or snack

To call this dish “beef fajitas” is actually redundant. The term fajitas comes from the meat part usually used in making them: skirt steak. But since this Tex-Mex recipe is actually replicable using other meats like pork or chicken—because really the secret is in the mix of spices—it bears specifying what kind of fajita it is.

For entrepreneur and blogger Nicole Ortega, beef still gets the job done. But in case you’re curious about her not-so-secret mix of spices for marinating, she lists them in our Comfort Kitchen series on Instagram.

Here, she shows it only takes a few minutes to pull this together—if you don’t mind shortening the marination process to a rub. Of course, you’ll have to make sure all sides of the steak cuts are coated. You might even do a squeeze like Nicole did to make sure the meat absorbs all that spice.

Serve it on a tortilla on top of a lettuce leaf with your choice of condiment/s. Nicole finishes hers with Sriracha-mayo for a little kick.
