Grilled Fajita Steak & Shrimp Tacos Recipe
Surf and turf tacos for a Mexican-themed dinner. Tender shrimp sautéed with sweet peppers and onions complement the grilled beefy taste of these tacos. Cooked shrimp speeds up the prep time.
Directions
Yield:
Step 1: Preheat greased barbecue grill to medium-high. Brush meat with 1 tbsp of the oil. Season with salt to taste. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the steak, until medium-rare and well browned on surface. Let stand for 5 minutes. Thinly slice meat across the grain. Instead of grilling the steak, you can place it on a broiler pan and broil 2″-3″ away from the heat or sear in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 2: In a large skillet, heat remaining 1 tbsp of oil over medium heat. Sauté shrimp, onion, red and orange bell peppers and salt and pepper to taste until peppers are tender-crisp, vegetables are slightly charred and shrimp is heated through, 10-12 minutes.
Step 3: To build tacos, skillet warm tortillas. Divide meat and shrimp mixture equally among tortillas and fold tortillas in half. Serve with lime wedges.
