Difficulty: Intermediate
Servings: 6 Servings

These fun fajitas are seasoned with all the flavors of a classic margarita

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds flank steak
  • 1 cup blanco tequila
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (from about 3 medium oranges)
  • 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 3 limes)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for serving
  • 2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • Small warm flour tortillas, sliced red onion, sour cream or Mexican crema, avocado slices, and cilantro leaves and tender stems, for serving

Instructions

  1. Place the flank steak in a 6-quart or larger slow cooker. (Cut into smaller pieces as needed to fit in even layers).
  2. Whisk together the tequila, orange juice, lime juice, black pepper, and 2 teaspoons of the salt in a medium bowl. Pour the mixture over the steak. Using tongs, turn the steak to evenly coat. Top with the yellow onion and garlic. Cover and cook on LOW until fork-tender, 6 to 8 hours.
  3. Remove the onions with a slotted spoon and transfer to a small bowl. Transfer the steak from the slow cooker to a clean cutting board. Slice across the grain into thin strips. Season with more salt and serve with the yellow onions, tortillas, red onion, crema, avocado, and cilantro.
