Fajitas Barbecue Style

Marinating the meat all day makes the meat very tender and tasty.

1 lb. top sirloin steak, 1 inch thick

Marinade:
1/3 cup lime juice
1/4 tsp. salt (optional)
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. chili powder

8 flour tortillas, 6-inch size
1 cup each: shredded lettuce and chopped tomato
1/2 cup sliced green onion
1 oz. grated, low fat cheddar cheese

Trim steak and place in a shallow bowl. Mix marinade ingredients and spread on both sides of steak. Refrigerate for 6-8 hours, turning halfway through marinating time. Drain marinade and discard. Broil or barbecue steak about 2-3 minutes on each side or until desired doneness. Carve crossgrain into thin slices. Heat tortillas in microwave or in a non-stick skillet. To serve, divide the meat, lettuce, tomato, onions, and cheese over 8 tortillas.
