- Remove steak from bag; discard marinade.
- Remove vegetables from bag; reserve marinade. Place reserved marinade in a small saucepan; set aside.
- Place steak and vegetables on skewers (soak them in water for a bit so they do not burn)cook until desired degree of doneness.
- Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave until soft.
- Bring reserved marinade to a boil.
- Take the steak and vegetables off the skewers and onto a serving platter; drizzle with reserved marinade.
- Serve the meat and veggies with the flour tortillas and let people make their own fajitas. Pass chopped cilantro.

We really enjoyed these. I grilled them as posted. The veggies are on the chunky side so I just cut them down a bit. This makes a lot. I cut the recipe in half and it made enough for 4 people because trying to eat two of these fajitas is just too much. I used the leftover marinade to baste the food while it was grilling. Served a droplet of sour cream and some salsa on top and it was good to go. Served recipe #304459 as a side dish. Made for Spring PAC 2010. Thanks for posting. :)

I live in Kansas City, MO and I love to cook. I recently lost 50 pounds on the Weight Watchers Flex plan and I am looking at food in a totally different way (or at least I am trying!!) I love every aspect of food/ cooking. I love looking through my favorite cooking magazines, cookbooks, searching the net (this is the best recipe site...by far)and watching the food network. I enjoy going to the grocery store, but sometimes it is frustrating when I have a budget (which seems to be all the time!)
I also collect Tori Amos items(singer/songwriter/piano player). She is an amazing artist and I enjoy her music very much.
