Time 35m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

3/4-1 lb steak or 3/4-1 lb shrimp, cut in strips against grain
oil (enough to coat meat)
1 (5 g) packet Sazon Goya seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 -3 teaspoons paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 -2 tablespoon black pepper
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cumin
1 -2 teaspoon oregano
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
lime juice (just enough to coat meat)
1 dash tequila
1/2 red onion, sliced
1/2 green pepper, sliced
1/2 red pepper, sliced
flour tortillas or corn tortilla

Steps:

Cut meat in strips (against the grain) and place in medium sized freezer bag.
Drizzle enough oil over the meat to coat and shake bag.
Add all all seasonings to bag, shake to coat meat.
Add enough lime juice to coat meat, plus dash of tequila.
Marinade (ideal time for steak or chicken-- 1 1/2 -2 hours, shrimp-- no more than 30 minutes).
Heat cast iron skillet on medium-high until smoking, add approximately 1/4 of the meat plus onion and peppers and sear for approximately 3-5 minutes. If cooking just chicken or shrimp, you may need to add a small amount of oil (1 tsp). Do not overcrowd the skillet or you will not achieve a good sear.
Continue cooking the rest of the fajitas in small batches. Serve with tortillas and accompaniments.
