Everybody loves Mexican food, but in reality it's not very friendly on the waist line :( I had some left over flank steaks and thought "why not make fajitas?!" Plus, the boyfriend was getting tired of my what he calls "rabbit" food.
I got some fresh veggies & herbs for my mom's salsa recipe <3 it's so simple but has tons of flavor. And instead of those carb-filling tortillas I used some big leafy lettuce cause you know I'm a rabbit~ (I don't know what's it called in english but in Korean its "Sangchu")
- Mommy's Salsa
2 Big riped tomatoes
1 Jalapeño
1/2 Brown Onion
1/4 cup of cilantro
3 tablespoons of ketchup (you can use any kind, I used Heinz reduced sugar cause I'm a calorie counter)
N/A Tabasco
Salt & pepper to taste
- Fajitas
5 Flank steaks
4 Cloves of garlic
2 Large red bell peppers
1/2 Brown Onion
1/2 Lemon
Salt & pepper
1. Salt & pepper your steaks on each side and grill 3 mins on each side. (I like mine medium rare but you can cook them however you like it.) Set aside steaks cover with foil & let it sit for a couple of minutes (2-3mins) so the juices can start flowing in, then cut. Do not cut right away!
** The key to a good steak is do not ''squish'' or move them around, once it hits the grill leave it alone.
2. Chop your tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and jalapeño. Put together in a bowl.
3. Add ketchup & Tabasco (you can add as much as you want depending on how spicy you like it) Mix it around and BOOM! SALSA~
4. Slice bell peppers & onions into long strips, roughly chop your garlic.
5. In a non-stick pan sautee bell peppers for 2-3mins. Add onions & garlic sautee for another 3 mins or until onions has caramelized. Top it off with squeeze of lemon juice.
This is optional but Sam loves onions & cilantro so I made an extra side. Just chop 1/2 onion and cilantro.
Now you are ready to build your fajitas :)
If you're not into the whole veggie wrap style fajitas you can always get whole wheat corn tortilla.
