A delicious and fast crowd pleaser with a south of the border flavor that will have you spending time with your family instead of slaving over a hot stove for hours.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Cut flank steak into strips 1/4-inch wide and 3 inches long and marinate in Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, juice of 1 lime and garlic for 20 minutes.
  2. 2
    (Note: boneless skinless chicken breasts should be "fileted" in half before cutting into 1/4x3-inch strips).
  3. 3
    While meat is marinating, cut onion and bell pepper into 1/4-inch wide strips and heat in non-stick skillet with oil until they begin to sweat (don't let them become too soft).
  4. 4
    Remove them to a paper plate to drain.
  5. 5
    Drain meat and brown in same skillet until done.
  6. 6
    Remove to paper plate to drain.
  7. 7
    Wipe out the skillet so it is dry and begin to reheat it over a medium heat.
  8. 8
    Take one tortilla and put a small amount of grated cheese, 1/4 of the meat (or amount to suit), onion and bell pepper to suit and cover with another small amount of grated cheese and top with a tortilla.
  9. 9
    Carefully put "tortilla sandwich" in the heated dry skillet and cook until cheese melts (about 60-90-120 seconds). Flip and cook on other side same amount of time.
  10. 10
    Tortilla will take on a lovely "tanned" appearance and become just slightly crispy.
  11. 11
    This dinner sounds involved but is actually quite simple and very quick.
  12. 12
    Kids and adults both will love it served with iced tea, pico de gallo, guacamole and salsa.
  13. 13
    Enjoy!

Really love this recipe!! I am going to make it tonight. I will use red along with green peppers and a four cheese Mexican blend. When I first made this, I thought the liquid smoke was going to be overwhelming, but it turned out being the perfect mix. Thanks, Danger

    This recipe is so good! We make ours with chicken and we only add onion and cheese, but it's great! We really liked the fajita quesadillas from Chili's and I actually think these taste better! Good job Danger...

    I made this last night and it was great! My husband loved it as well. I only added some Tabasco in the marinade, to spice it up a little bit, and we sprinkled some Tony Checheries seasoning on the beef strips. We also didn’t “tan” the tortilla’s in the pan, we just ate them soft. I will definitely make this again!

    These were tasty made with steak but next time I will add fajita seasoning....not quite spicy enough for my taste. Pico de gallo and guacamole added some Mexican flavor. I forgot to take out the sour cream, but I will remember next time!
