Instructions
Steak Fajita Marinade Directions:
Add two tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, garlic and onion powder, Kosher salt, hot sauce, and pepper to a small bowl and mix well.
Pour over steak, cover, and let marinate for at least one hour or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
Steak Fajita Directions:
When ready to grill steak, wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil and place in a 350-degree oven for 10 minutes.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat — brush olive oil over the grill pan to prevent the steak and vegetables from sticking.
Add the steak to the grill pan and cook until the internal temperature reaches 130 degrees for medium-rare. Depending on how thick your steak is, this will take 5-10 minutes. Remove the steak, cover with foil, and allow the steak to rest for a few minutes.
Add the bell pepper strips and onions to the grill pan and allow them to cook. Stir until they are crisp-tender which should take about 1-3 minutes.
To make the fajitas, place a few strips of steak, bell peppers, onions, and avocado slices in a warm tortilla. Top with your choice of sour cream, salsa, and shredded cheese. Enjoy!

Notes
You can also use a gallon-size plastic storage bag to mix the marinade ingredients and marinate the beef - saves on clean-up.
I used sirloin in this recipe, but you can also use a skirt, flank, round, or any other type of beef you have on hand or like. You can also substitute chicken or shrimp.
Feel free to substitute lime juice for the lemon juice in the marinade.
If cooking the beef on a grill outside, preheat the grill to medium-high, or about 400 degrees. Brush the grates with cooking oil and cook the beef as directed. Use a vegetable or wire basket to grill the vegetables.
