Instructions

1.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the mole sauce, orange juice, lime juice, and minced garlic.
2.
Place the skirt steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the mole marinade over the steak, ensuring it's evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for a more intense flavor.
3.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4.
While the grill is heating, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions, season with salt and pepper. Sauté until tender-crisp, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
5.
Remove the skirt steak from the marinade and discard the marinade.
6.
Grill the skirt steak for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steak reaches your desired internal temperature (130-135°F for medium-rare).
7.
Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing it against the grain into thin strips.
8.
Serve the sliced skirt steak fajitas with the sautéed bell peppers and onions, warm tortillas, and your favorite toppings.

Chef's Tips

For best results, marinate the steak for at least 2 hours.

Don't overcook the steak, as it will become tough.

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for the best flavor and texture.

Consider adding a pinch of chili powder to the bell peppers and onions for extra heat.
