Quarantine Cook 2: Tequila Lime Steak Fajita Bowls
Options

Fajita bowls are consistently in the meal rotation at our house. The usual protein suspects are chicken or leftover pulled pork, but this round I decided to finish off a handful of steaks my better half purchased from a door to door salesman. These steaks were barely 1/2" thick, so great candidates for a quick tequila & lime marinade with a hot and fast cook. The results were satisfying for days. I have to add that we love the instant rice/quinoa packets you can get from Costco as the base of the bowls.

Every once in awhile we'll get one of those guys trying to sell meat a reduced price. I just tell them I'm a vegetarian. Stops them right in their tracks.XLBGE, LBGE, MBGE, SMALL, MINI, 2 Kubs, Fire Magic Gasser

Tequila Lime Marinade
1 Shot Tequila Blanco
1 Lime - juiced
1/2 Lime - zested

As for the fajita veggies, this is my favorite method (semi-adapted from Serious Eats):
Preheat oven to 425
Toss sliced Bell Peppers and Onions with EVOO + Salt + Pepper
Spread evenly on baking sheet lined with tin foil
Bake at 425 - stirring every ~10 minutes for 25-30 minutes
*If you like more charring, broil for the last 5-10 minutes
