    Marinade
    1. 2 tbsp (30 mL) tequila
    2. 1 lime, zested and juiced
    3. 4 cloves of garlic, minced
    4. 4 tsp (20 mL) soy sauce
    5. 2 tsp (10 mL) ground cumin
    6. 1 tsp (5 mL) vegetable oil
    7. 1 tsp (5 mL) sugar
    8. ½ tsp (2.5 mL) red chili flakes
    Fajitas
    1. 2 Prince Edward Island Certified Island Beef Inside round fast fry steaks (½ lb/225 g each)
    2. 1 onion, thinly sliced
    3. 1 orange or yellow pepper, thinly sliced
    4. 1/8 tsp (0.6 mL) salt
    5. 1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
    6. 6 flour tortillas
    7. 1 cup (240 mL) prepared guacamole
    8. 2 tomatoes, diced
    Instructions
    1. Preheat the grill on the highest setting.
    2. Combine all the marinade ingredients in a shallow glass or plastic container. Add the steaks, turning and submerging as much as possible. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
    3. Toss together the onion, peppers, oil and salt to coat. Arrange in a single layer in the middle of a large piece of foil. Fold and crimp the foil to create a packet, then pierce a few holes in the top to allow steam to escape.
    4. Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat dry with paper towel, brushing off as much of the garlic as possible. Discard the marinade.
    5. Grill the steaks and vegetables for 4 to 5 minutes, turning the steaks half way through, or until the vegetables are tender and the beef is medium doneness. Remove from grill.
    6. Allow the steaks to rest for 3 minutes. Thinly slice the steak against the grain.
    7. Serve the steak, peppers and onions with the tortillas, guacamole and tomatoes, allowing your guests to assemble their fajitas as desired.
    Notes
    1. If you don’t have a BBQ, the steak and vegetables can be cooked on the stovetop by sautéing the vegetables in a large skillet over medium-high heat (adding a bit of the steak marinade if desired) until tender, and then searing the steaks for 2 minutes per side.
