Fajita Street Tacos

Ingredients:

For Pico de Gallo:

  • 4 Roma tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 small white onion, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno, chopped (adjust for heat preference)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • Juice from 1/2 a lime

For Tacos:

  • 2 lbs marinated beef fajita meat (pre-marinated or marinated at home)
  • 16 corn tortillas
  • Avocado, sliced
  • Pico de Gallo (prepared as instructed)
  • Cheese (such as Mexican crumble cheese or your preferred cheese)

Instructions:

To Make Pico de Gallo:

  1. Chop and Combine: In a bowl, combine the chopped roma tomatoes, white onion, jalapeno, and cilantro.
  2. Add Citrus Zing: Squeeze the juice from half a lime over the mixture to give it a tangy and zesty flavor.
  3. Toss and Chill: Gently toss the ingredients to combine, ensuring even distribution of flavors. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the pico de gallo while you prepare the tacos.

To Make Tacos:

  1. Grill the Fajita Meat: Preheat a grill to high heat. Place the marinated beef fajita meat on the grill and cook until no longer pink inside, turning as needed. This will create deliciously charred and flavorful meat.
  2. Slice or Cube the Meat: Once cooked, slice the fajita meat against the grain or cut it into bite-sized cubes for easy taco assembly.
  3. Warm the Tortillas: Heat the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet until they are warm and pliable.
  4. Assemble the Tacos: Place slices or cubes of the grilled marinated beef fajita meat onto each warm tortilla.
  5. Add Toppings: Top the meat with sliced avocado, a generous spoonful of the prepared pico de gallo, and crumbled cheese.
  6. Garnish and Enjoy: Finish each taco with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for added freshness and flavor.
  7. Serve and Savor: Arrange the assembled tacos on a serving platter and enjoy the delectable combination of flavors and textures.

Serving Suggestion:

  • Serve these Grilled Marinated Beef Fajita Tacos with additional lime wedges on the side and a side of Mexican rice or black beans for a complete and satisfying meal.

Note: These tacos are a celebration of bold Mexican flavors. The marinated beef fajita meat pairs beautifully with the zesty pico de gallo and creamy avocado, creating a burst of taste in every bite. The warm corn tortillas provide the perfect vessel to hold these mouthwatering fillings.
