Fajitas on the Grill

  • 1/2 cup Italian dressing
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • One 1 1/2-pound flank steak
  • 3 large bell peppers (red or green), cut into strips
  • 2 large onions, each cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
  • Eight 8-inch flour tortillas, warmed
  • 1 jar (16 ounces) salsa

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the Italian dressing and lime juice; mix well then brush over the steak, peppers, and onions.

Note: If you don't have a basket for grilling the veggies, make sure to cut them large enough and place them crosswise on the grill to keep them from falling through the grill rack. The standard way to serve fajitas is topped with sour cream and guacamole -- but go ahead and add any of your favorite toppings.
