1 teaspoon in
1 teaspoon chili powder
Pinch ground cloves
4 crushed cloves garlic
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 orange and 1 lemon, juiced

1 pound flap meat or chicken breasts, marinade for about 1 hour
4-6 corn tortillas

MARINADE: Place all ingredients in bowl, saving oil for last. Slowly whisk oil into marinade, whisking the entire time.
Marinate steak or chicken in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. Reserve some of the marinade for cooking in the sauté pan.

FAJITAS:
Preheat grill on high. Place steak on grill. Wrap up corn tortillas in foil and place on top shelf of grill. Turn steak, cooking 5-8 minutes each side.
Slice onions and bell peppers. Remove steak from grill and let it rest a few minutes. Next, cut into strips against the grain.
Preheat a sauté pan over high heat. After 1 minute, add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add peppers and onions. Cook 2 minutes, then add steak slices. Pour in 2 tablespoons reserved marinade and cook over high heat another minute or so. Remove from pan. Place a small mound of fajitas on each corn tortilla and top with fresh guacamole.
