Steps:
- To make the fried tortilla strips, slice the two tortillas in half and then into 1/4 inch strips.
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet and when it's hot, add the tortilla strips. Fry them for a few minutes, stirring and flipping often, until they're golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels and lightly season with salt.
- To make the fajita seasoning blend all the ingredients together well.
- To make the dressing put all into a small food processor and process until smooth. Taste to adjust anything.
- Pat the steak dry and rub on both sides with fajita seasoning. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet on high heat and when it is really hot, add the steak. Cook, on highest heat, for about 3 minutes per side, or until done the way you like it. Remove the steak and let rest under foil for 10 minutes.
- Wipe out the pan, add 1 more tablespoon oil, and, when it's nice and hot, sear the onions. Remove to a plate and do the same with the peppers (no need to wipe the pan again.)
- If you have a gas stove blister the corn right over the flame, carefully holding it with tongs until the kernels start to pop and char. If you don't have a gas burner, blister the corn in the hot skillet. Put the corn into the microwave for 2 minutes, just to take the raw edge off. Let cool until you can handle it, and then slice the kernels off the cob.
- Arrange the lettuce on the bottom of a large shallow salad bowl. Slice the steak against the grain into thin slices. Arrange the steak in the center of the salad, surrounded by the onions and peppers, corn, olives, tortilla strips, and tomatoes.
- Top with dressing, or serve the dressing on the side. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and sliced jalapeños.

Steps:
- Put steak in a large resealable plastic bag. Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Reserve 1/2 cup marinade for vegetables; pour remainder over steak and turn to coat. Seal bag. Chill at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place 1 rack in center position and another 4 inches from broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
- Toss chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumber, and onion with reserved 1/2 cup marinade on the prepared baking sheet and spread in an even layer.
- Roast on center rack until vegetables begin to pucker and brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove baking sheet from oven and turn oven to broil. Push vegetables to the middle of the pan. Remove steak from marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off, brush off garlic, and set on top of vegetables. Discard marinade.
- Broil steak on top rack, flipping once, until it begins to char and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 125 degrees F for rare or 135 degrees F for medium-rare, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
- Cover loosely with foil and let rest 10 minutes before slicing steak thinly across the grain. Serve warm steak and vegetables with pan juices over romaine, sprinkled with feta cheese and parsley.
