Buffalo Fajitas

Serves 4
A great version of this TexMex favorite. This fajitas recipe is fun, easy, and will be a sure hit with the family. Its super quick to prepare and it will be sure to please.

INGREDIENTS:
FOR FAJITAS:

• 1 pound Buffalo Skirt or Flank Steak, rinsed and patted dry
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large sweet onion, cut into strips
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
• 1 green bell pepper, cut into strips
• 8 flour tortillas, warmed (best warmed over grill fire)

FOR MARINADE:

• 1 Anaheim chili, roasted and peeled
• 1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
• 2 tomatillos, quartered
• ¼ cup fresh cilantro, packed
• ½ teaspoon cumin
• ½ teaspoon cardamom
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ cup fresh lime juice, (2 limes)
• 2 teaspoons olive oil

*Optional: If you like more of a smoky tomato flavored fajita, add 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce to marinade ingredients. I like to do half with and half without. Nice contrast in taste and color!
