-Grill meat over a medium-high flame 4-5 minutes on each side.

-Pour reserved liquid mixture over onions and bell peppers.
-Combine meat, onions, and bell peppers.

Notes: Serve with warm tortillas, pico de gallo, cheese, sour cream, and guacamole When I make this, I make sure to marinade at least overnight; the taste from the marinade is so good, I like to make it stronger. Also, I steam the peppers and onions rather than sauté them, as it cooks them evenly and retains their color perfectly.

Make It A Meal: Serve with Rice Picante and a Margarita Presidente like Chili's.

YUMMY!!!!
