Grilled Lamb Fajitas

Ingredients:

  • 1 lbs boneless lamb sirloin, sliced 1-inch thick
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 2 Tbsp fresh orange juice
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tsp crushed dried oregano
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 onion, peeled and halved
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and halved
  • 1 carrot, peeled and halved lengthwise
  • 8 - 6 inch flour tortillas, warmed

Preparation:

Place lamb in a glass dish. Whisk olive oil, lime juice, orange juice, cilantro, oregano, cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Pour over lamb, cover and marinate for 4 hours or overnight.

Preheat grill. Brush onion, bell pepper and carrot with oil; season to taste with salt and pepper. Drain lamb and place on lightly oiled grill and cook on both sides, turning once, until internal temperature reaches 150° F. Grill vegetables with lamb, turning frequently, until tender.

Allow lamb to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips. Slice grilled vegetables and serve with lamb in warmed tortillas with salsa and sour cream, if desired.
