Fajitas with Roquefort Recipe

Fajitas with Roquefort Recipe

  • 8 (6 inch) flour or corn tortillas
  • 3 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 2 onions, cut into thin slices
  • 2 green bell peppers, cut into thin strips
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (1 1/4 pound) skirt steak, cut in half
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
  • 1/4 pound Roquefort or other blue cheese, crumbled
  1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Stack the tortillas and wrap them in aluminum foil. Warm in the oven for about 15 minutes.
  2. In a large frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over moderately high heat. Add the onions, peppers, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
  3. Light the grill or heat the broiler. Coat the steaks with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and the black pepper. Grill or broil the steaks for 3 minutes. Turn the meat and cook to your taste, 2 to 3 minutes longer for medium rare. Let rest in a warm spot for 5 minutes. Cut the steaks diagonally across the grain into thin slices.
  4. Roll the steak slices, onions and peppers, and Roquefort in the warm tortillas.
