Clean Eating Carne Asada Fajitas
Ingredients:
2-3 lb flank or skirt steak, about 1 inch thick
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil
2 limes, juiced
4-5 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
11 tsp pepper
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp smoked paprika

--Corn Tortillas

Directions:
Combine white vinegar, olive oil, lime juice, garlic and spices together in a bowl.  Mix well.  I like to pour my marinade in a freezer Zip Lock baggie with the meat and let it marinade for at least 1 hour (up to 24 hours).  Make sure to flip the bag of meat/marinade to get both sides!

After it's finished marinading, grill the flank steak (doesn't take long on grill).  You can also broil the steak on the tap rack for 6 minutes, then flip steak and broil for 5 more minutes for medium.  Cut the steak into slices top with toppings listed below and serve on heated corn tortillas.

Toppings:
Guacamole
Cheese
Sautéed peppers
Black Beans
Tomatoes
Cilantro
Onions


Homemade Guacamole:
2-3 Avocados
Cilantro (as much as you like)
 1-2 limes, juiced
tomatoes, diced
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)
chili powder (to taste)
cumin (to taste)
