Directions

  1. Pat steaks dry. Rub with 1 teaspoon oil; sprinkle with fajita seasoning and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.

  2. Preheat charcoal or gas grill for direct cooking over medium heat. For the dressing, whisk together lime juice, 2 tablespoons oil, honey, garlic, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, cumin, and black pepper in a small bowl; set aside. 

  3. Toss pepper strips and onion with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Transfer to a wire-mesh grill basket.

  5. Transfer steak to a cutting board; loosely cover with foil and let rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice steak across the grain. Arrange steak, vegetable mixture, greens, avocado, and tortillas on a platter. Sprinkle with Cotija cheese. Serve fajitas with dressing and lime wedges.
