DIRECTIONS

1.      Whisk together olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, honey and spices. Reserve about one-fourth of marinade and refrigerate.

2.      Place meat in a shallow dish and pour remaining three-fourths of marinade on top of it. Let meat marinate in this overnight in the refrigerator, or at least an hour.

3.      Preheat grill to 450°F-500°F.

4.      Slice bell peppers and onion and place in grilling basket or tin foil packet with a little olive oil and garlic salt.

5.      Grill steak about five minutes per side (or until internal temperature reaches 145°F). Brush reserved marinade on after flipping. Once done, remove from grill, cover with foil, and let rest.

6.      Grill the bell peppers and onion foil-packet at 450°F-500°F , about 10 minutes a side. If you want, grill tortilla shells about 10 seconds per side.

7.      Assemble your fajitas. Garnish with extra cilantro and guacamole. Add your favorite hot sauce for added heat.
