Steps:
- Preheat a grill over medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates with vegetable oil. Toss the garlic, onions, poblanos and bell peppers with the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and spread onto a 20-inch-long piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bring the 2 sides together and fold over twice to seal. Bring the ends of the foil in and up and seal. Set aside.
- Stack the tortillas and wrap in a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Set aside.
- Toss the pieces of skirt steak with the lime juice in a medium bowl and then sprinkle with the cumin, coriander, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- Place the steak and the vegetable packet on the grill. Cook the steak, flipping once, until the meat is cooked to medium, 7 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness. Cook the vegetable packet, flipping over once, until the vegetables are soft and lightly charred, about 12 minutes.
- Transfer the steak to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes. While the steak is resting, place the tortilla packet on the grill and cook, flipping once, until just warmed and pliable, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Thinly slice the steak and place on a large platter. Open the vegetable foil packet (being careful of steam), toss with the chopped cilantro and place next to the steak on the serving platter. Place the lime wedges, whole cilantro leaves, sour cream and pickled jalapenos on the side for topping the fajitas. Serve with the warm tortillas.

MESQUITE CHICKEN AND BACON FAJITAS
I had some fajitas once at a chain restaurant....Chilis or Applebees I think....that had bacon and mushrooms. It was an unexpected twist. I used that idea as an inspiration for this recipe where I used a bottled Mesquite Marinade (because I can't seem to create one I like), chicken, portabello mushroom strips, bacon, and a nice sauce. I've served it several times (although not in a few years) and it is a hit every time. Let me know how you like it!

GRILLED MESQUITE BEEF FAJITAS (TEX-MEX)
I got this recipe while, in all places, Germany, but it is by far my favorite fajita recipe, and never fails to get rave reviews. I use a Weber grill, but any kettle style grill or smoker will do. Using indirect heat gives the best results. Time to make does not include marinating over night.

Steps:
- Clean the skirt or flank steak. Remove as much of the fat and thin film as possible.
- Combine all remaining ingredients.
- Pour over meat and marinate over night (minimum), turning occasionally.
- Arrange coals on along two sides of the grill with a drip pan in the middle.
- Once white around the edges, add mesquite chips. You can soak them first if you want, but it's not necessary.
- Place meat over drip pan and put the cover on the grill.
- Turn meat after 20 minutes or so, and cook for another 10-15 minute Meat should be cooked, but still juicy.
- Let meat rest for 15 minute.
- Cut the meat across the grain into thin strips (1/4-3/8" thick). Be careful here, the grain does not run lengthwise. You should cut each skirt steak into 6" segments, turn each segment 90 degrees then slice. If you don't cut across the grain, the meat will be very tough.
- Serve on hot flour tortillas, topped with your favorite toppings. I prefer spicy guacamole and shredded shard cheddar cheese.

STEAK FAJITAS
Skirt steak is the traditional cut used for fajitas. It used to be inexpensive, but now it's not so cheap; oftentimes flank steak costs less. Either will be a good choice.

Steps:
- Combine 2 teaspoons ground cumin, the chile powder and 1 teaspoon salt. With a sharp knife, cut shallow crosshatched incisions across top and bottom surfaces of steak. Rub spice mix all over surface of steak. (It's best to wear gloves as the chile powder is hot.) Place steak in a resealable freezer bag.
- In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice and zest, 1/4 cup olive oil, the Worcestershire sauce and half the garlic. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade and pour the rest into the bag with steak. Seal and move steak around in bag to coat thoroughly. Place on a sheet pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours. Massage bag periodically to redistribute marinade. Refrigerate reserved marinade if cooking the next day.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring, until they soften and begin to color, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in bell peppers and chile. Cook, stirring, until peppers begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
- Lower heat to medium, add remaining garlic and cumin, and salt to taste. Cook, stirring often, until peppers are nicely seared, softened and beginning to caramelize, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Pour in reserved 2 tablespoons marinade and scrape bottom of pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze. Stir in half the cilantro. Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove from heat but keep warm.
- Wrap tortillas in foil and warm in a low oven, or wrap in a towel and warm in a steamer or in the microwave.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, or prepare a medium-hot grill. Remove meat from marinade and discard marinade. Pat meat dry with paper towels. If using a skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in skillet. (If your skillet is not large enough for the steak, cut it in half and cook in batches.) Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Meat should be medium rare. Remove to a cutting board, cover with foil and let sit for 10 minutes. Cut across the grain into 1/2- to 3/4-inch wide strips.
- Arrange lettuce on a platter, then place steak next to lettuce. Tip juices from cutting board over meat and sprinkle with remaining cilantro. Serve vegetables on the same platter or separately, along with warm tortillas, salsa and crumbled queso fresco.

- In a plastic storage bag or baking dish, whisk together all of the marinade, adding the cilantro at the end.
