INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 teaspoons Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 fluid ounce Fresh Lime Juice
• 1 Jalapeno Pepper
• 2 teaspoons Cumin
• meat tenderizer (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 2 lb. boneless Steak
• 12 tortillas Low Carb Tortillas
• 1 tablespoon Canola Vegetable Oil

• 1 medium (approx 2-3/4" long, 2-1/2" diameter) Green Sweet Pepper

DIRECTIONS

• (This delicious dish may be made with a cheap cut of lean meat by slicing the meat thinly across the grain and sprinkling with a quality meat tenderizer and then letting the meat rest for a few hours before placing into marinade.) In a large bowl or resealable plastic bag, combine minced garlic, salt, lime juice, finely diced jalapeno, cumin and olive oil; whisk together. Add steak and toss to coat well. Marinate, refrigerated at least 1 hour, preferably over night for the flavors to blend.
• Place the tortillas onto a plate and cover with a dampened paper towel. When ready to serve, microwave the tortillas for 30 - 45 seconds
• Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Grill 5 inches over hot coals (or over medium-high heat) 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare; set aside. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat canola oil. Cook sliced bell peppers and onion for about 5 minutes, until vegetables are softened.
• To assemble fajitas, spread tortillas with salsa, top with steak slices and vegetable mixture, sour cream, and chopped cilantro. Fold over and serve.
