Jeff and I really enjoyed this one! He said it was his favorite Mexican dish. Ever. And he
even said they were 'restaurant quality' fajitas. What a compliment haha. Maybe he was
just being nice to me though. Either way, these were super yummy. I got the steak on a
really good sale, but I'm pretty sure you could just as easily use two or three chicken
breasts as well. I also left out the red pepper flakes and let Jeff just put them on his
own (I can't handle anything even remotely spicy, and he usually can't get enough of
spicy haha). Anyway, these are definitely worth a try. YUM!

In
a dish, mix together olive oil, Worcestershire, lime juice, garlic, cumin,
chili powder, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and sugar until combined. Pour
half of the marinade into a separate dish. In one dish, place the flank steak,
turning it over to coat. In the second dish, place all the veggies, turning to
coat. Cover the dishes with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 2
hours.
Prepare
tortillas, salsa, sour cream, and cilantro.
Heat
a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle in some oil. Add the veggies
and cook them for a few minutes, until they're cooked but still slightly firm
and have nice black/brown pieces. Remove to a plate and set aside.
Heat
the same same skillet (or a grill pan if you have it) over high heat and
drizzle some oil. Cook the meat for about 2 minutes per side until medium rare.
Remove and allow to rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes.
Slice
the meat right before serving and serve with all the fixins. Delicious!
