Caribbean Fajitas
2 tablespoons lime juice, plus 1 teaspoon
1 cup grapefruit juice
1 teaspoon Splenda©
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
10 ounces flank steak (sliced thin)
1 red bell pepper (sliced in thin strips)
1 cup chopped scallions
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 cup light sour cream
1 tablespoon lime zest
4 flour tortillas 6", heated
Chopped cilantro, lime wedges (for garnish)
Make the marinade by combining 2 tablespoons of the lime juice, mustard,
grapefruit juice and Splenda© in a gallon-sized
plastic bag, Add the sliced steak, seal and shake gently to coat the steak
with the mixture. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours, turning the bag occasionally
to coat evenly.
Remove the steak from the bag, reserving the marinade. Heat the olive oil
in a large, nonstick skillet, and cook the steak for 4-5 minutes, turning
frequently. Cook until done to taste, and transfer the steak to a separate
platter. Add the reserved marinade to the skillet and cook until reduced
to 2 tablespoons. Add in the pepper and scallions and cook for 2-3 minutes
(until vegetables are tender), stirring frequently. Transfer to the bowl
containing the steak, and combine well.
While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the sour cream topping. In a
small bowl, combine the lime zest, 1 teaspoon lime juice and the sour cream.
To serve: place the tortillas on individual plates. Place equal
portions of the steak and vegetable mixture on each tortilla and top with 1
tablespoon of the sour cream mixture. Garnish with cilantro and lime
wedges. Serve immediately.
