Valentine's Day dinner

We decided on Mexican food, recepies by Tyler Ultimate (again)

We made fajitas and guacamole.

Ingredients for fajitas

Marinade (Mojo):
- orange, juiced
- limes, juiced
- olive oil
- garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- roughly chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- ground cumin
- salt

Meat:

- steak and chicken brest
- salt and pepper

Extra:

- red bell peppers, thinly sliced
- large onion, thinly sliced
- lime juice, olive oil, optional
- tortillas, warm
- guacamole, recipe down!
- good quality store bought salsa (we bought tomato and sour cream salsa)
- shredded cheese

Directions:

In a small 2 cup measuring cup, or something similar size and shape, combine all the marinade ingredients. Using an immersion blender, puree the marinade until smooth. Transfer to a re-sealable plastic bag and add the meat, seal and shake to coat. Refrigerate the beef for 2 to 4 hours to tenderize and flavor the beef.

Preheat a ridged grill pan on high heat.

Drain the marinade from the beef. Lightly oil the grill or grill pan. Season liberally with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Grill the steak over medium-high heat and cook for 4 minutes on each side and then transfer to a cutting board and let rest. Depending on the size of your grill pan you may need to cook in batches.

Once the beef is off the grill pan and resting, add the bell peppers and onions tossed with lime juice and olive oil, if using. Grill the mixture for 7 to 8 minutes until the vegetables are just barely limp.

While the peppers and onions are cooking, heat up the tortillas. Turn any free burners on a medium low flame. Place a tortilla on each flame and let it char about 30 seconds to 1 minute, flip the tortilla and repeat on the second side. Once heated and charred remove the tortilla to a clean tea towel and wrap to keep warm. Repeat until you have warmed all of your tortillas.

Thinly slice the steak against the grain on a diagonal.

Now time for guacamole:

- avocados
- limes, juiced
- small onion, chopped
- garlic clove, minced
- fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
- red pepper
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- drizzle olive oil

Halve and pit the avocados. With a tablespoon, scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocados with a fork, leaving them still a bit chunky. Add all of the rest of the ingredients, and fold everything together.
