- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin

Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced flank steak, bell peppers, onion, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the meat and vegetables evenly.
- Grill the marinated steak, bell peppers, and onion for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness and the vegetables are tender. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
- While the steak and vegetables are grilling, grill the pineapple slices for 2-3 minutes per side, until they have grill marks and are slightly caramelized. Remove from the grill and chop into small pieces.
- In a small bowl, combine the grilled pineapple, cilantro, jalapeno, red onion, lime juice, and salt. Mix well to make the salsa.
- Warm the flour tortillas on the grill for 30 seconds per side.
- To serve, place a few slices of steak and grilled vegetables on a warm tortilla, top with a spoonful of grilled pineapple salsa, and enjoy!
Beef fajitas have a rich history, originating in the ranch lands of West Texas and Northern Mexico. This sizzling dish gained popularity in the 1930s when Mexican vaqueros in the Rio Grande Valley would grill skirt steak over an open flame and wrap it in a warm tortilla. The addition of grilled pineapple salsa adds a sweet and tangy twist to this classic dish. Renowned chefs like Rick Bayless and Bobby Flay have put their own spin on this recipe, incorporating the smoky flavors of grilled pineapple into the traditional fajita mix. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in authentic Mexican restaurants and Tex-Mex eateries, where the key to perfection lies in the tender, marinated beef and the vibrant, charred pineapple salsa. Whether you're grilling at home or dining out, the combination of savory beef fajitas and zesty pineapple salsa is a must-try for any food enthusiast.
