    12 (6 inch) flour tortillas
    shredded cheese (optional)
    Flat Iron Steak Fajita Marinade
    1 cup soy sauce
    1 1/2 cups pineapple juice
    1 tablespoon ground cumin
    1 1/2 teaspoons fresh garlic, minced
    3 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice
    Pico De Gallo
    1 cup roma tomato, diced (you can use canned organic diced tomatoes)
    1/4 cup white onion, diced
    1 1/2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped finely
    1 tablespoon jalapeno, minced
    1 teaspoon lime juice, fresh
    1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
    Guacamole
    2 small avocados or 1 large avocado, cubed
    1 tablespoon lime juice, fresh
    1/4 cup pico de gallo
    1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, minced
    1 teaspoon olive oil
    1 teaspoon jalapeno, minced
    1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
    Cilantro Cream Sauce
    1/2 cup sour cream
    1/8 cup cilantro
    1 green onion, chopped
    2 teaspoons lime juice
    salt
    pepper
Preparation
    Put marinade ingredients and steak in a large zip-lock bag or container with lid and marinate in refrigerator overnight.
    Combine all the ingredients for each sauce; Pico De Gallo, Guacamole & Cilantro Cream Sauce. Do not mash the avocados in the guacamole - leave as cubes. Cover and put in refrigerator.
    To prepare the fajitas, preheat grill or broiler on high. If you have a cast iron fajita skillet, heat it in the oven for 20 minutes. Place steaks on grill or on broiler pan in oven. Grill or broil for 8 minutes. Flip and continue grilling for 6 minutes for a medium rare steak. Slice steak across the grain.
    Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large saute pan over high heat. Add onions to pan and cook 1 minute, stir constantly. Add peppers to pan and saute for 1 minute, stir constantly. Season with 1 tsp of Southwest Chipotle Seasoning. Remove pan from heat.
    Place vegetables on the heated Cast Iron Fajita Platter or on a serving plate. Place sliced Flat Iron Steaks on top of the vegetables. Serve with tortillas, Pico de Gallo, Cilantro Cream Sauce and Guacamole. Top with shredded cheese, if so desired.
