1 (14.5 ounce) can low-salt beef broth
Fajitas:
1 (1 pound) flank steak

2 red bell peppers, each cut in 12 wedges

1 cup bottled salsa
1/4 cup low-fat sour cream
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

To prepare marinade, combine the first 10 ingredients in a large bowl; set aside.
To prepare fajitas, trim fat from steak. Score a diamond pattern on both sides of steak. Combine 1 1/2 cups marinade, steak and chicken in a large zip-top plastic bag. Seal and marinate in the refrigerator 4 hours or overnight, turning occasionally. Combine remaining marinade, bell pepper and onions in a zip-top plastic bag. Seal and marinate in refrigerator 4 hours or overnight.
Prepare grill.
Remove steak and chicken from bag; discard marinade. Remove vegetables from bag; reserve marinade. Place reserved marinade in a small saucepan; set aside. Place steak, chicken and vegetables on grill rack coated with cooking spray; cook 8 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness.
Wrap tortillas tightly in foil; place tortilla packet on grill rack the last 2 minutes of grilling time. Bring reserved marinade to a boil. Cut steak and chicken diagonally across grain into thin slices. Place the steak, chicken and vegetables on a serving platter; drizzle with reserved marinade.
Arrange about 1 ounce steak, about 1 ounce chicken, 3 bell pepper wedges, and 1 onion wedge in a tortilla; top with 1 tablespoon salsa, about 1 teaspoon sour cream, and 1/2 tablespoon cilantro. Fold sides of tortilla over filling. Garnish with cilantro sorigs, if desired. Serve immediately.
