First Try Fajitas

dmourati · January 2018

Skirt steak called to me so I decided to try for fajitas.

I made:
Cast Iron Seared skirt steak
Cast Iron fired roasted peppers and onions

My wife made:
Corn tortillas
Refried beans
Guacamole (thanks @bgebrent )

I cooked the skirt steak at 600F in a cast iron skillet, one minute per side. I FTCd it, waited for the rest of dinner, and then cooked the peppers/onions and threw the beef on top.

Here's what came together.

@thetrim :
Bob's red Mill Masa Harina + water, a $35 CI tortilla press, 30s per side in a non stick fry pan over medium heat, and a warming basket will yield out of this world corn tortillas.

Bob's Red Mill masa harina is a nice upgrade from the standard offerings.
Learnt that little nugget from the "Tacos" book.

It's also nice having a local tortilleria close by, and buying them fresh and warm.
