  • Char the corn: Charring the corn adds a smoky flavor and slight crunch. You can char the corn on a grill, in a grill pan, or over an open flame.
  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: Heirloom tomatoes are a great choice for this recipe, as they have a rich, complex flavor. You can also use other ripe, flavorful tomatoes, such as Roma or cherry tomatoes.
  • Grill the steak: Grill the steak to your desired doneness. If you like your steak rare, cook it for about 2-3 minutes per side. For medium-rare, cook it for about 3-4 minutes per side. For medium, cook it for about 4-5 minutes per side.
  • Assemble the fajitas: To assemble the fajitas, place a tortilla on a plate. Top with grilled steak, charred corn, sliced tomatoes, and your favorite toppings. Fold the tortilla in half or roll it up and enjoy!
