Chipotle Lime Steak Fajitas - 11 pts

I'll be perfectly honest with you. . we are not big on beef here.  We eat mostly chicken and tons of veggies.  There's no particular reason, just personal taste.  It's one of the many reasons I like having a team of recipe contributors.  Every now and then, we just want STEAK! This steak recipe is fantastic! 

Something about the warmer weather has me anxious to start grilling!  I made a trip to the local butcher and the flank steak caught my eye.  It pairs perfectly with Wildtree's Chipotle Lime Rub.  I'm positive you will love it!

 

The Steak 

1lb flank steak, fat trimmed

2 cloves chopped garlic

1 tbsp vinegar

1 tbsp grapeseed oil

1 tbsp water

1 tbsp Wildtree Chipotle Lime Rub

Combine in a ziploc bag, shake around until steak is covered.  Allow to marinate over night if possible.

Grill until desired temp.   Allow the meat to rest before cutting.  Slice thinly, against the grain, and at an angle.

Serving size - approx 3 oz cooked flank steak

The Veggies

2-3 Bell Peppers cut into slices

1 large onion cut into slices

2 tsp grapeseed oil

1 tsp Wildtree Chipotle Lime Rub

Toss together.  While the steak is cooking, saute in pan over medium heat until desired tenderness.

Pico de Gallo

3-4 diced roma tomatoes

medium red onion diced

1 jalapeno (remove seeds/ribs if you don't like too much heat!)

1 tbsp chopped cilantro

pinch of salt

squeeze of lime juice

Breakdown:

I don't claim to be an expert however I want to give you the most accurate information possible. Here is how I calculate my points for this dish.

The Points Plus value on this will vary.  I have trouble calculating points with marinades when so much of the marinade is left in the bag.  

Assuming all of the oil is used, it is 5 pts per 1/4 of the marinated meat.

1/4 of the peppers and onions will have 1/2 a teaspoon of grapeseed oil at .5 point.

I use 2 pt tortillas for a total of 4 pts.

I use 1 oz reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese for 2 pt
