My gang loves Tex-Mex cuisine. Trouble is the menu at our local cantina has so many dishes to choose from, it takes them forever to decide what to order. So, when our test kitchen pros came up with this Chili-Lime Steak Fajitas recipe, I was thrilled. It combines two south of the border treats in one delicious meal.

Skirt steak is a long thin cut of beef. It’s perfect for our recipe. For best results, cut the meat against the grain. This will ensure every slice turns out tender and juicy. If you can’t find skirt steak, flank, flatiron or hangar steak would also work here. It’s key to marinate the meat for several hours. For even more bold flavor, try marinating up to overnight. The longer it sits the better it tastes. Cook along with our video and watch how easy it is, then let us know what you think.
