Fajitas With Roquefort
- 8 6- inch flour or corn tortillas
- 3 tablespoons cooking oil
- 2 onions, cut into thin slices
- 2 green bell peppers, cut into thin strips
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 pounds skirt steak, cut into 2 pieces
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
- 1/4 pound Roquefort or other blue cheese, crumbled (about 1 cup)
- Heat the oven to 350u0b0. Stack the tortillas and wrap them in aluminum foil. Warm in the oven for about 15 minutes.
- In a large frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over moderately high heat. Add the onions, peppers, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
- Light the grill or heat the broiler. Coat the steaks with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and the black pepper. Grill or broil the steaks for 3 minutes. Turn the meat and cook to your taste, 2 to 3 minutes longer for medium rare. Let rest in a warm spot for 5 minutes. Cut the steaks diagonally across the grain into thin slices.
- Roll the steak slices, onions and peppers, and Roquefort in the warm tortillas.
- Variation: For a new-style Philly cheese steak, use the same filling, but put it in crusty rolls.
- Wine Recommendation: Fajitas and merlot go together like chips and salsa. The wine's plum, chocolate, and herb flavors are a natural with steak and peppers, while its soft, velvety texture plays counterpoint to the fajitas' rough-hewn construction.
