Directions:To make the pico de gallo, put the tomatoes, beans, onion, jalapenos, and cilantro in a large bowl. Mix well. Add the salt, pepper, and lime juice. Mix well and set aside. To make the fajita seasoning, add the salt, chili powder, pepper, granulated garlic, cumin, white pepper, and cayenne to a small bowl. Mix well and set aside. With a long, thin sharp knife, filet the skirt steak into two thinner steaks by holding the meat down on a cutting board and cutting through it. Cut the steaks into 6-inch pieces. Squeeze one-half of the lime on the meat, and then season it liberally with the fajita seasoning. Flip the meat and repeat. Prepare the grill for cooking over direct high heat. Place the steaks directly on the cooking grate. Cook for 3 minutes. Flip and cook for 3 more minutes. Remove to a platter and let rest for 3 minutes. Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 1 minute. Meanwhile, slice the steak thinly against the grain. Mix the pico de gallo well again. Divide the meat evenly among the tortillas and let the guests add the pico de gallo. |
