Ingredients

1 lb Striploin Grilling Steak
1 bunch Asparagus
2 tbsp Kraft Peanut Butter
2-3, to taste Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce
3 (2 for marinade, 1 for crema) Lime
1 large, thinly sliced Red Onion
2, julienned Bell Peppers (various colors)
8-10, warmed Tortillas (flour or corn)
3 tbsp (2 for asparagus/veg, 1 for marinade) Olive Oil
to taste Salt
to taste Black Pepper
1/4 cup, chopped, for garnish Cilantro
1 ripe, sliced (for garnish) Avocado
2 cloves, minced (for marinade) Garlic
1 tsp (for marinade) Worcestershire Sauce

Instructions

Prepare Asparagus: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss asparagus with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 10-12 minutes until tender-crisp and slightly charred. **Flavor Enhancement:** Higher heat and slight charring amplify the asparagus's natural sweetness.
Marinate Steak: In a bowl, combine thinly sliced striploin steak with 1 tbsp olive oil, juice of 2 limes, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator). **Flavor Enhancement:** Garlic and Worcestershire sauce add depth and umami to the steak.
Prepare Vegetables: Thinly slice red onion and julienne bell peppers. **Technique Refinement:** Consistent, thin slicing ensures even cooking and better texture.
Grill Steak and Vegetables: Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to high heat. Grill the steak strips for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting for desired doneness. During the last few minutes, grill the sliced onions and peppers until softened and slightly charred. **Technique Refinement:** High heat searing locks in juices and creates a flavorful crust on the steak.
Prepare Chipotle Peanut Butter Crema: In a small bowl, combine Kraft Peanut Butter with 2-3 minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (adjust for spice level), the juice of 1 lime, and 1-2 tablespoons of water until the mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Taste and adjust lime or chipotle as needed. **Flavor Enhancement:** Adjusting the chipotle peppers allows customization of spice.
Warm Tortillas: Warm tortillas on a dry skillet or in the microwave according to package instructions.
Assemble Fajitas: Fill each warm tortilla with grilled steak, grilled vegetables, roasted asparagus, and a generous drizzle of chipotle peanut butter crema. Garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced avocado.
Serve Immediately.
