Here’s What You’ll Need
6 ounce of Flank Steak, cut into cubes
3/4 OZ Olive Oil
3/4 TBSP Fajita Spices
1/4 TSP of salt (Margaritas Super Salt)
Lettuce
2 OZ of Black Beans, heated
2 OZ of Corn Salsa
2 OZ of Jack Cheese
2 OZ of fresh tomato salsa (salsa fresca or pico de gallo)
1/8 of a fresh, ripe Avocado (cut into three slices)
1 OZ Crema (mixture of sour cream and milk)  

Here’s What To Do

Mix oil, fajita spices and salt together and combine thoroughly in a mixing bowl. Add meat to spices making sure all pieces get covered thoroughly. Place meat onto two skewers making sure meat is flat to increase cooking surface. (When using wood skewers, make sure skewers are soaked in water for at least an hour to avoid burning). Grill skewers to medium rare.

In the meantime, build the salad. Pile lettuce in a decorative salad bowl in the shape of a cone Sprinkle warm black beans, salsa fresca, corn salsa and jack cheese in a circle on edge of salad.

Remove grilled steak from skewer and place in the center of the salad. Place avocado slices around the outside of the salad. Drizzle crema back and forth across the salad. Serve and enjoy
