GRILLED MESQUITE BEEF FAJITAS (TEX-MEX)
I got this recipe while, in all places, Germany, but it is by far my favorite fajita recipe, and never fails to get rave reviews. I use a Weber grill, but any kettle style grill or smoker will do. Using indirect heat gives the best results. Time to make does not include marinating over night.

Steps:
- Clean the skirt or flank steak. Remove as much of the fat and thin film as possible.
- Combine all remaining ingredients.
- Pour over meat and marinate over night (minimum), turning occasionally.
- Arrange coals on along two sides of the grill with a drip pan in the middle.
- Once white around the edges, add mesquite chips. You can soak them first if you want, but it's not necessary.
- Place meat over drip pan and put the cover on the grill.
- Turn meat after 20 minutes or so, and cook for another 10-15 minute Meat should be cooked, but still juicy.
- Let meat rest for 15 minute.
- Cut the meat across the grain into thin strips (1/4-3/8" thick). Be careful here, the grain does not run lengthwise. You should cut each skirt steak into 6" segments, turn each segment 90 degrees then slice. If you don't cut across the grain, the meat will be very tough.
- Serve on hot flour tortillas, topped with your favorite toppings. I prefer spicy guacamole and shredded shard cheddar cheese.

[email protected]The recipe was easy to follow and the fajitas turned out great! I especially liked the addition of the mesquite seasoning, which gave the dish a smoky and flavorful twist.
Italy Owens
[email protected]These fajitas were a bit too spicy for my liking, but I can see why others might enjoy the bold flavors. Next time, I'll use less chili powder and cumin to tone down the heat.

[email protected]I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted tofu for the beef and it turned out great! The marinade worked wonders on the tofu, giving it a smoky and savory flavor. Highly recommend this recipe for vegetarians and meat-lovers alike.

[email protected]Overall, I enjoyed the grilled mesquite beef fajitas. They were flavorful and satisfying, but I would suggest adjusting the marinade to suit personal preferences and providing more detailed instructions for all the components of the dish.

[email protected]The recipe was missing instructions for making the guacamole and sour cream sauce. I had to search for a separate recipe for those, which was a bit inconvenient.
Alongir Hossen
[email protected]The fajitas were good, but I found the marinade to be a bit too salty for my taste. Next time, I'll reduce the amount of salt or use a different marinade altogether.
