This is what turns taco night into a must-taste event.

Fajitas done right—juicy, marinated skirt steak hitting hot metal, peppers blistered and smoking at the edges, and a pineapple serrano pico de gallo that cuts through with sweet heat and lime. Everything wrapped in warm tortillas, built fast, eaten faster, with a cold margarita on standby.

No shortcuts. No quiet flavors. Just bold, sizzling, taquería-level energy.

THE BRIEF

• 2–3 tbsp Fiesta Brand Chicken Fajita Seasoning

• 3 tbsp olive oil

• Juice of 1 lime

Charred Peppers & Onions

• 3 bell peppers (mixed colors), sliced

• 1 small onion, sliced

• 1–2 tbsp oil

• Salt + pepper

Pineapple Serrano Pico

• 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced

• 1/2 cup tomato, diced

To Serve

Directions

1. Marinate the Steak:
   In a bowl or zip-top bag, combine skirt steak, olive oil, lime juice, and fajita seasoning. Massage it in and let it marinate at least 30 minutes (up to overnight for max flavor).

2. Make the Pineapple Pico:
   In a bowl, combine pineapple, tomato, onion, serrano, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt + pepper and mix. Let it sit while everything else cooks — it gets better as it hangs out.

3. Char the Peppers & Onions:
   Heat a large pan (or grill) over high heat. Add oil, then peppers + onions. Cook undisturbed for a few minutes to get real char, then toss. You’re looking for blistered edges and a softened but not mushy texture. Season with salt + pepper and set aside.

4. Grill the Steak:
   Get your grill or pan very hot. Cook the skirt steak for ~3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let it rest 5–10 minutes, then slice against the grain.

5. Warm the Tortillas:
   Quick char over flame or in a dry pan until soft + lightly blistered.

6. Build the Fajitas:
   Tortilla → sliced steak → peppers → pineapple pico. Finish with a squeeze of lime.

Notes

• Chicken fajita seasoning on steak = elite move. Keep doing that.

• Pineapple pico is the balance engine here—don’t skip it.

• Skirt steak cooks fast—don’t overthink it, just don’t overcook it.

BON APPÉTIT!
